Spain controlled most of South and Central America, much of the Caribbean, and parts of North America.

However territory that large was difficult to control and therefore was open to attack. Other European countries

had seen the riches brought back by Spain and were eager to stake a claim.


The colonial regions were diverse in the

method founded,

geographic features, and economies

THE DARKER THE COLOR, THE HIGHER

THE ELEVATION


NEW YORK, NEW JERSEY, PENNSYLVANIA, DELAWARE

Ethnically diverse, especially along the Hudson River

Busy shipping ports

Lush farmland led to grain and livestock production like wheat and rye, beef and pork

Cottage industries were weaving, shoemaking, cabinet making, and other artisan crafts

Additional workers were recruited from Europe as indentured servants, who would work for a specified number of years to pay for their passage

SLAVERY

Covert resistance

“I was never acquainted with a slave who believed that he violated any rule of morality by appropriating to himself any thing that belonged to his master, if it was necessary to his comfort.”

– Charles Ball, former slave

Covert resistance was the most subtle and common

form of resistance since the “silent sabotage” could not

be proven.

Examples included faked incompetence, pretending to not understand directions,

slowed pace of work, pretending to be sick or

petty theft.

More extreme examples included self-mutilation,

arson, and suicide.

The “Sambo” stereotype of the lazy incompetent slave was actually a deliberate

subversive action on the part of slaves.

CAUSES OF THECIVIL WAR

Abolitionists had numerous meetings and “anti-slavery fairs”


THE CIVIL WAR

“The closeness of the place, and the heat of the climate, added to

the number in the ship, which was so crowded that each had scarcely room to turn himself,

almost suffocated us. This produced copious perspirations, so that the air soon became unfit for respiration, from a variety of

loathsome smells, and brought on a sickness among the slaves, of which many died, thus falling

victims to the improvident avarice, as I may call it, of their

purchasers.”

Plan and Sections of a Slave Ship, 1789. The Brookes carried 609 slaves (351 men, 127,

women, 90 boys, and 41 girls) crammed into its decks.

The Civil War

Banknotes from the early 19th century featured scenes of slavery.
