slavery in colonial America

Slavery took place in Colonial America in a complicated way. Around 1960 historians describe slavery in certain in a way, which leads them to think that there is differences between Whites and Blacks when it comes to intelligence, civilization, morality or physical capacity. All of the sudden White starting to think they should be the leader of people from Africa. They think that people from Africa should be the one doing all the hard work. Then the Civil right movement began in the 20th century, which lead historians to rethink about race and also, that African are just as smart and capable of doing the things that White people are capable of doing. Slavery then became racial slowly in colonial America, which means slavery were force labor and was not dealt with race. The thing is not all forced laborers were black and to be black did not mean they were enslaved. Most of the Africans in America were enslaved. From early moments in the history of slave traders came to Jamestown around 1690 and in Massachusetts by 1630. Slavery began to grow slowly from east to west until after the American Revolution, slavery was not well know in the south at this time. Many of the men In Jamestown was indentured servants they were brought to America to work without pay under a rich white person for many years before they could become free. Indentured was over used during this time before slavery became well known. So for example the African that were brought to Jamestown in 1619 were not brought to be slave they were brought to be indentured servants. Some Africans were enslaved but they all had the same status as White indentured servants. White and black indentured servants were not treated very well. Just like African slaves, white servants received the same treatment. This typical labor lasted for several years for white and black. Most of them started to run away. They used to pay people back then to find slaves that ran away. Most slaves started to see each other as equals
