Relevant pages: Resource Type: Document-Based Question The following primary sources, focusing on Bacon's Rebellion, help students understand the condition of freemen and indentured servants on the eve of the revolt and how colonial legislation helped institutionalize slavery in the southern colonies. Colonial Society and Economy Resource Type: Document-Based Question Colonial society (Virginia in particular) changed from a society with slaves to a slave society, where slavery was the foundation of the economic and social order. This selection of primary sources allows students to understand how commerce and agricultural production caused slavery to replace indentured servitude in the southern colonies and to create new forms of wealth. Bacon's Rebellion: Colonial Society and Politics Resource Type: Classroom Simulation In this simulation, which focuses on Bacon's Rebellion, students will recreate colonial society with a view to understanding how the legal and economic infrastructure of the colonies facilitated the development of slavery. Mapping Early New York City Resource Type: Classroom Simulation In this innovative simulation students learn the skills of mapping. Although focused here on the early history of New York City, these skills can be applied to any urban center in any time period. Slave Resistance Resource Type: Primary Source A newspaper advertisement offering a reward for the return of a runaway slave (Virginia Gazette, February 15, 1770). Systems of Slavery: The North Resource Type: Primary Source The Newport Historical Society cannot determine whether the black child depicted in this portrait of the Potter family in Rhode Island is free or slave. The adult male figure here may be the John Potter who manumitted his slaves after becoming a Quaker. The British influence on the fashion and tastes of American colonial elites is conveyed through dress (c.1740-70). Systems of Slavery: The South Resource Type: Primary Source The labor-intensive process of rice cultivation on a plantation near Savannah, Georgia (1867). Systems of Slavery: The South Resource Type: Primary Source Charleston, with its intense maritime activities and fine urban architecture (1737–39). Systems of Slavery: The North Resource Type: Primary Source Slave market in the port city of New York (1730). Slavery figured in the economy of the Northern colonies though it was not central to it. The American Revolution: Black Intellectuals Resource Type: Primary Source Phillis Wheatley (1753-84) is the first black woman whose poetry is published in the United States and Great Britain. African American Cultures Resource Type: Primary Source The Old Plantation. Painting by an unknown artist (c. 1800). A spirited gathering of African Americans dancing to and playing music. | |
