Student Study Guide for the American Pageant CHAPTER 4 American Life in the Seventeenth Century, 1607?1692 seq NL1 \r 0 \h Chapter Summary ? Life was hard in the seventeenth-century southern colonies. Disease drastically shortened life spans in the Chesapeake region, even for the young single men who made up the majority of settlers. Families were few and fragile, with men greatly outnumbering women, who were much in demand and seldom remained single for long. The tobacco economy first thrived on the labor of white indentured servants, who hoped to work their way up to become landowners and perhaps even become wealthy. But by the late seventeenth century, this hope was increasingly frustrated, and the discontent of the poor whites exploded in Bacon?s Rebellion.

?The Silence? Questions By Joseph J. Ellis Taken From Founding Brothers: The Revolutionary Generation THESIS OF THE ARTICLE: In the early years of the country, the government remained silent over the slavery question. But then on February 11, 1790, two Quaker delegates stormed Congress with a petition to end the African slave trade. The antislavery North used republican values to support their view, while the proslavery South looked to the Constitution and the Bible to protect its establishment. And thus the congressional debate over slavery began, and quickly ended in an effort to avoid friction in the Union. SALIENT POINTS OF READING INTEREST:

Alisa Chen Hamza Noor Christina Xu Jenny Zhi 1st Hour Slavery and Indentured Servitude Essay Outline Thesis In colonial times, indentured servants and slaves had some similar lacks of rights, but slaves were far worse off; although both were given certain rights, indentured servants obtained more freedom after their terms ended, such as the right to land and supplies at the end of a work term; and though neither had a prominent voice in politics, the slaves? political rights were more limited, and they had heavier punishements for breaking laws; lastly, neither was paid and all the profit from their work went to the owner, but indentured servants? work led towards their eventual freedom, where they had limited economic help.
