Freedom in Colonial America

As you remember my last blog was about race. Now i have to relate the theme to our colonial America unit. This means I could write about Native Americans or African slaves. The following link, from the Colonial Williamsburg site, is about slavery in the colonies. Although slavery was found in every colony, it was much more prevalent in the Chesapeake region. There, slaves grew tobacco for sale in Britain. But slavery was more than an economic system, it established a pattern of social inequality between the races. I believe that slavery was the reason that blacks and whites have racial problems even today.
