Slavery In The English Colonies

Slavery is a touch and go topic and everyone has separate opinions on slavery but I don’t think the emergence of the slavery in the English colonies was primarily a response to economics. I feel that it was just pure hate and racism. At this time money wasn’t controlling everything and money wasn’t as important to the world then as it was now.

Still to this day the demand for cotton is high because a lot of out every day items are made out of cotton. Some families still have members that use to pick cotton out in the fields. When people think of African American slavery picking cotton is the first thing that comes to mind along with being beat. The cotton economy is a bitter sweet thing. It made a major come up in America but it also killed people trying to get
