How Did Black Runaways Dehumanize African Americans?

1. Whites in Virginia and Maryland decimated against blacks and made them seem inferior to white colonist because their appearance, mannerism, and culture was different compared to whites. Theses difference caused the prescription of black to become distorted which led to the misconception that blacks were less than human. These misconception played a major part and how black servants were treated compare white servants. For example, Black runaways servants revived a hasher punishment, they were unable to bear arms, and had heavier duties than whites. Furthermore, the fear whites had because of the large amount of blacks in the colonist due to the need for black servants in the south caused them to make laws that would dehumanize blacks in
order to make it harder for them to become free. For instance they would degrade them by not referring to them as negars instead of a first name. Free blacks compared to white servants had less freedom and caste down as socially lower than any one who was white. The separation of the two races caused whites to believe blacks were less than them because of the stigma placed on blacks due to their skin color. Therefore, because whites saw blacks as a threat the socially and economically suppressed them due to their own fears that they would become to inferior to blacks.
