Description

In "Slavery and Servitude in Colonial North America", Kenneth Morgan shows how the institutions of indentured servitude and black slavery interacted in the 17th and 18th centuries. He covers all aspects of the two labour systems, including their impact on the economy, on racial attitudes, social structures and on regional variations within the colonies. Throughout, overriding themes emerge: the labour market in North America, the significance of racial distinctions, supply and demand factors in transatlantic migration and labour, and resistance to bondage. This is an introduction to an area that is crucial for understanding not just Colonial American society but also the later development of the United States.
