Slavery
Slavery was a main reason for the economic
success of the South.
It was criticized as being inhumane.
Some colonists did not believe in slavery, nor
would they own enslaved people.
Most of the enslaved Africans lived on
plantations.
Many suffered cruel treatment.

Slavery (cont.)
All of the Southern Colonies had slave labor
and slave codes, or strict rules that governed
the enslaved Africans.
Although many enslaved Africans saw their
families torn apart and suffered from harsh
treatment, they also developed their own
culture as enslaved people.
This was based on their West African
homelands.

Slavery (cont.)
Some were given the opportunity to learn
trades and become skilled workers.
If they were lucky enough to buy their
freedom, they developed communities with
other free African Americans.
The debate over slavery later ended in a war
with the North against the South.

Colonial Government
There were three types of colonies by the
1760s:
1) The Charter Colonies of Connecticut and Rhode
Island
- They were established by a group of settlers who
had been given a charter, or a grant of rights and
privileges.
- Colonists elected governors and members of the
legislature.
- Britain could approve the governors appointment,
but the governor could
not veto acts of the legislature.

reexamine their lifestyles, their relationships
with one another, and their faith.

Determining Cause and Effect How did
the French relationship with Native
Americans help them in their conflicts with
the British?
Usually Native Americans sided with the French,
who had treated them well and respected their
ways.
Britain, Spain,

Spain controlled
Mexico, the presentday southwestern
states, Florida,
Central America, and
the western coast of
South America.
Mexico was
controlled by Spain.
France controlled

River.
