Bacon's Rebellion was a rebellion consisting of poor farmers and indentured servants led by Francis Bacon in response to Sir William Berkeley's lack of defense for the Virginian frontiers against the Native Americans, therefore, many plantation owners looked towards African slavery as a way to lower the chances of rebellion.

Cash crops brought a lot of money to the colonies which helped their economy. Slaves were able to grow the cash crops. This shows how the production of cash crops made slavery rise in the colonies.]]> 2021-09-15 12:37:22 UTC https://padlet.com/thomaswhite2/zlk13cu4jhm6/wish/1742559931 https://padlet.com/thomaswhite2/zlk13cu4jhm6/wish/1742561568 a) One reason for the rise of African slavery in the British colonies was their immunity to European diseases when compared to the current 'slaves', American Indians. As the American Indians became more exposed to Europeans, their population decreased drastically. This caused the Europeans to need more workers that were more immune to diseases; thus, causing the rise of African slavery in the British colonies]]> 2021-09-15 12:37:58 UTC https://padlet.com/thomaswhite2/zlk13cu4jhm6/wish/1742561568 https://padlet.com/thomaswhite2/zlk13cu4jhm6/wish/1742561709 a) One reason for the rise of African slavery in the British colonies was the cultivation of cash crops in the Southern colonies. Cash crops such as tobacco and cotton were labor intensive. A decline in indentured servants from England left a demand for Southern plantations to fulfill. The demand was filled with slaves from Africa, who had no choice in whether or not to come and could not earn their freedom like indentured servants.]]> 2021-09-15 12:38:01 UTC https://padlet.com/thomaswhite2/zlk13cu4jhm6/wish/1742561709 https://padlet.com/thomaswhite2/zlk13cu4jhm6/wish/1742564771 a) One reason for the rise of African slavery in the British colonies was the middle passage.]]> 2021-09-15 12:39:08 UTC https://padlet.com/thomaswhite2/zlk13cu4jhm6/wish/1742564771 https://padlet.com/thomaswhite2/zlk13cu4jhm6/wish/1742565176 African slavery rose in the British Colonies because of the Southern Colonies reliance on cash crops. These cash crops, including tobacco and cotton, could be grown quickly and in mass, so cheap labor was needed. African slaves, unlike Native Americans, could withstand European diseases and could thus work closely with the British settlers for little to no pay in the colonial plantations.]]> 2021-09-15 12:39:17 UTC https://padlet.com/thomaswhite2/zlk13cu4jhm6/wish/1742565176 https://padlet.com/thomaswhite2/zlk13cu4jhm6/wish/1742565637 a) One reason for the rise of African slavery in the British colonies was due to the Native Americans being exposed to European diseases. Because of these deadly pathogens, Native Americans were killed off and therefore could not be dragged into coerced labor, so the British turned to enslaving Africans instead. ]]> 2021-09-15 12:39:27 UTC https://padlet.com/thomaswhite2/zlk13cu4jhm6/wish/1742565637 https://padlet.com/thomaswhite2/zlk13cu4jhm6/wish/1742567677 A.) One reason for such an increase in African slavery was due to the decrease of Native Americans as well as a need for cash crops. British colonies initially labored Native Americans but they where prone to diseases brought from the old world, having the population of natives decrease. Cash crops where in high demand and some British colonies needed a less costly method of labor.]]> 2021-09-15 12:40:10 UTC https://padlet.com/thomaswhite2/zlk13cu4jhm6/wish/1742567677 vn194194 https://padlet.com/thomaswhite2/zlk13cu4jhm6/wish/1742567798 a) The introduction cash crops, such as cotton, to the New World opened opportunities for labor on plantations. Slaves provided a cheap and free source of labor to harvest these crops. Through the Middle Passage, slaves were brought by the thousands to work on plantations, which lead to cultural oppression and suffering. ]]> 2021-09-15 12:40:13 UTC https://padlet.com/thomaswhite2/zlk13cu4jhm6/wish/1742567798 https://padlet.com/thomaswhite2/zlk13cu4jhm6/wish/1742568066 a)One of the reasons for the rise of African slavery was cash crops and farmers not wanting to harvest them.

One reason for the rise of African slavery in the British colonies was the labor shortage. At first, the European farmers had attempted to use Native-Americans as a source of labor.

In the British colonies the economy was based off of cash crops, agriculture and trade. They needed labor for the extraneous tasks that needed to be completed for the cash crops to grow. The Africans were brought over from across the Atlantic to help cultivate the crops and use as labor for other economic reasons the British needed them for. This is one of the reasons why there was a rise in Africans in the British colony to help the colonies be able to make profit through the forced labor. ]]> 2021-09-15 14:26:04 UTC https://padlet.com/thomaswhite2/zlk13cu4jhm6/wish/1742932640 wk193718 https://padlet.com/thomaswhite2/zlk13cu4jhm6/wish/1742933259 We see the rise in slave labor due to the growing popularity of the Atlantic slave trade.

When the New World came about they traded many profitable resources with the British. The main two were tobacco and sugar. This is important because it started to increase the British economy, so they depended on the crops. They needed more production of it which increased growth of slavery.

One reason for the rise of African slavery in the British colonies was the demand of cheap labor.
