How did slavery develop in the southern colonies?

Answer 1

The Transatlantic trade brought Africans to North America as slaves, most of whom were agricultural workers. Eventually, racist attitudes made it much harder for Africans and their descendants to buy their freedom than it was for European indentured servants in the New World.

Answer 2

In 1619, an English privateer, flying a Dutch flag arrived at Point Comfort, Virginia, today's Fort Monroe, and auctioned a cargo of 'twenty and odd' enslaved Africans. Two of the enslaved Africans Anthony and Isabella stayed at Point Comfort and became servants for Capt. William Tucker, Commander at Point Comfort. Others were then transported to other plantations including Jamestown. Their legal status as indentured servants or slaves was not clear. By the 1630s, many enslaved African people were considered servants for life. Slavery was not officially recognized in law in Virginia until 1661.

1619 was the beginning of slavery of Africans in English North America. However some Native American tribes endorsed slavery long before whites arrived. British, French, Spanish, and Dutch islands in the Caribbean had slavery by about 1500. Slavery in various forms has existed in most places in the world for a very long time.
