What were the differences between indentured servitude and chattel slavery?
Prompt:
Using information from the textbooks, lectures, and videos, explain how indentured servitude and slavery were vital to the success of the British colonies in North America in the 1600s and early 1700s. What were the differences between indentured servitude and chattel slavery? How did Americans in the British colonies justify enslaving Africans while at the same time being so concerned about their own rights and liberties?
Essays should be in a standard font and font size (like Times New Roman, 12 pt.), with 1 inch margins, and double-spaced. Make sure there is no wasted space on your paper (like between paragraphs, etc.); you do not need any fancy title pages, etc. Each essay should be no less than two full pages long and no more than four pages long.
