Lesson 19: Origins of Slavery

Question: What alternative to African slaves might you have employed to harvest tobacco?

Firstly, I wouldn't be harvesting tobacco because its bad for people.  But, if I was harvesting tobacco, I would have hired others from England to work for me.

If slaves were limited on education and couldn't read, how do you think the slave codes affected their daily life?

They would probably be wondering why they were treated the way they were and always being in the dark about it.
