FORMATION AND DEVELOPMENT OF THE SLAVERY IN THE UNITED STATES ( FROM BEGINNING TO THE WAR FOR INDEPENDENCE )
Abstract
Slavery in the U.S was formed by needs of building and exploiting the British colonies. At the first period, from beginning to the War for Independence of the colonies , the formation of slavery inthere was related with gradual replace of the” Indentured servitude”established by the colonists for the poor european emigrants.
By middle of 17th century, the British colonies began to legalize the slavery with “Slave codes” that created a “ Racial slavery”. So, black slaves formally were considered as property and goods for possession and bargain. Their position was the same as the position of the ancient slaves.
Increasing amount of the slaves would strongly affect socio- economic situation of the colonies and caused social conflicts inhere. In some first decads of 18th century, most colonies pass the laws banning slave trade activities. The slavery abolition was just enforced within the time of the War for Independence; however, not to get the thorough results.
