1) In colonial Virginia, Africans were initially viewed negatively and seen as primitive, but were still used as indentured servants. They were assumed to be captured and sold.
2) Over time, Africans became slaves as laws were passed declaring slave status would be inherited and preventing interracial relationships. Thomas Jefferson owned slaves and profited from their labor and reproduction.
3) Abolition of slavery in the North did not eliminate racism and discrimination against African Americans, who faced barriers to employment, housing, and equal treatment before the law. Racism persisted subtly in practices and social norms.

Sexism and the Black
Female Slave Experience
In a retrospective examination of the black female slave
experience, sexism looms as large as racism as an oppressive
force in the lives of black women. Institutionalized sexism—
that is, patriarchy—formed the base of the American social
structure along with racial imperialism. Sexism was an integral
p art of the social and political order white colonizers brought
with them from their European homelands, and it was to have a
grave impact on the fate of enslaved black women. In its earliest
stages, the slave trade focused primarily on the importation of
laborers; the emphasis at that time was on the black male. The
black female slave was not as valued as the black male slave. On
the average, it cost more money to buy a male slave than a
female slave. The scarcity of workers coupled with the rela
tively few numbers of black women in American colonies
caused some white male planters to encourage, persuade, and
coerce im m igrant white females to engage in sexual relation
ships with black male slaves as a means of producing new
workers. In Maryland, in the year 1664, the first anti-amalgama
tion law was passed; it was aimed at curtailing sexual relation
ships between white women and enslaved black men. One part

o f the preamble of this document stated:
That whatsoever freeborn woman shall intermarry with
any slave, from and after the last day of the present
assembly, shall serve the masters of such slaves during the
life of her husband; and that all the issue of such free born
women, so married shall be slaves as their fathers were.
T he most celebrated case of this time was that of Irish
N ell, an indentured servant sold by Lord Baltimore to a south
ern planter who encouraged her to marry a black man named
Butler. Lord Baltimore, on hearing of the fate of Irish N ell, was
so appalled that white women were either by choice or coercion
co-habiting sexually with black male slaves that he had the law
repealed. The new law stated that the offspring of relationships
between white women and black men would be free. As efforts
on the part o f outraged white men to curtail inter-racial rela
tionships between black men and white women succeeded, the
black female slave acquired a new status. Planters recognized
the economic gain they could amass by breeding black slave
women. The virulent attacks on slave importation also led to
more emphasis on slave breeding. Unlike the offspring of
relationships between black men and white women, the off
spring of any black slave woman regardless of the race of her
mate would be legally slaves, and therefore the property of the
owner to whom the female slave belonged. As the market value
of the black female slave increased, larger numbers were stolen
or purchased by white slave traders.
W hite male observers of African culture in the 18th and
19th centuries were astounded and impressed by the Af.

Sojourner Truth: The Great Antislavery Advocate
Born into slavery in 1797, Isabella Baumfree, who later changed her name to Sojourner Truth, would become one of the most powerful advocates to fight for human rights in the nineteenth century. In addition, she was separated from her family and sold several times before ending up on the farm of John and Sally Dumont. She was in the center of slavery most of the times. Having grown in slavery, she Clearly understood the pains that slaves go through. Masters were rude and in most instances mistreated the slaves. Promises given to slaves were barely honored. She recalls the promises she was given while a slave, and how her hopes in the promises were frustrated. Masters may be different though. Some are harsh than others. Nevertheless, the conditions for most slaves in the rural North were the same. The characteristics of the slavery surround around mistreatment, false promises, suffering, pain and such. Later Truth established herself as a speaker, against slavery. Before then, slavery was a legal institution in the United states. It was a legal trade. African Americans were in the middle of the questionable trade. Slavery was at its peak in the 18th and 19th century; the period following United States attainment of independence. However, it did not last well into the cold war period. The onset of slavery was after the initial Africans were brought from the northern America. By the 18th century, slavery was a common practice in the United States of America. The slaves worked for their masters. They were a source of cheap labor and therefore contributed immensely to the economic development of the United States of America. When the cotton gin was invented in early 1990s. people realized how important slaves were, in labor provision. She looks at the suffering that sl.
2. How the English Preceded the Africans Mainly by their color In their mind the color black was freighted with an array of negative images “Deeply stained dirt, foul, dark or deadly, malignant, sinister and wicked” White was seen as pure, innocent or good.
3. Shakespeare’s Portrayal Shakespeare’s play introduced a character, Prospero, a common English man and Caliban, a man who was “driven by the passions of the body”, or in other words and African The play described much of how the English felt in the colonial settlement of Virginia They wanted to destroy anything with primitive aggressions which they considered the “Negros”
4. Colonial Virginia The Africans were assumed to be captured from war or raids on enemy tribes before being sold Africans were sold as indentured servants, people who were to repay their freedom with work There weren’t many Africans in colonial Virginia at first because to the negative image given by African Americans
5. Indentured Servants Outcasts of society Convicts, vagabonds, whores, cheats, and rogues Endured horrible conditions and expect to perform strenuous work
6. Black and White Workers Hostility between workers of different colors but sometimes small unions formed Some black and white workers would run away together Blacks were singled out for harsher conditions Longer working periods and harsher punishments for wrong doing Blacks were highly valued compared to English indentured servants Especially Negro women because of their ability to reproduce and esenitally create more slaves Found it difficult to find work and places to live after being let go
7. Bacon’s Rebellion Struggling freed slaves were finding it increasingly hard to obtain a job or place to live Seen as a threat to society because of potential revolt Led by Nathaniel Bacon Troops were made up of whites and blacks
8. Who was considered slave worthy?

9. Thomas Jefferson Active in the selling and buying of slaves Considered the wealthiest man because of his ownership of properties and slaves Believed in “breeding woman” Had devoted women for childbearing Viewed children as more profit then a crop Didn’t agree with freeing slaves because felt whites and blacks could never co-exsist Didn’t agree with interracial relationships but was rumored to have bore children with a former slave, Betty Hemmings

12. North of Slavery 1860: 225,000 African Americans lived in north and were “free” Blacks: “north of slavery” “Although they are allowed to worship the same God as whites, it must be at a different altar and in their own churches with their own clergy” – Alexis DeTocqueville “city of brotherly love” the scene of bloody anti-black riots Law was there – practice was not
