Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Slavery Slavery was introduced into the Jamestown Colony in 1619 by the Commander of a Dutch trading vessel, who sold twenty negroes to the settlers. They were useful in the cultivation of tobacco and their labor increased the production of that plant. During the early colonial period slavery existed in all the colonies. In the north slaves were used chiefly as house servants, while in the south they worked on the plantations, doing practically all the work of the farm. Slavery was not profitable in the north and was gradually abolished there. The invention of the Cotton Gin by Ely Whitney in 1793 greatly increased the profits of slave labor. With this machine three men could extract the seeds from 1000 pounds of cotton in a day, while by hand one able-bodied man could pick but one pound in a day.
