While each colony passed its own laws at different times, all established slavery, and the legal framework was similar from colony to colony.Why did colonial leaders choose to build this system?

English colonists in America built a system of racial slavery over time, and rather than doing so just by practice or custom, they used legislation and court decisions to construct an increasingly rigid and seemingly indestructible legal structure that would come to consign trafficked Africans and their descendants to perpetual bondage. While each colony passed its own laws at different times, all established slavery, and the legal framework was similar from colony to colony. First, why did colonial leaders choose to build this system? And then, what were some of the key features of the laws they passed, and what were these laws’ contributions to this ever more defined system, up through about 1740? Develop an argument and advance it through making points and using evidence to back them up.Do NOT use or consult outside sources for this assignment.
