This is a topic that still rouses lots of debate to this day, so I was extra careful to ensure that the facts were straight. I draw the thread of slavery from before Columbus’s journey to slightly after this era charting the transition from servant labor to slave labor. Along the way I discuss how the views of these two types of labor shifted over time and the laws that were enacted to ingrain the practice in society. The AP notes did not cover this topic very thoroughly, so I had my work cut out for me. Regardless, I think I was able to portray the facts justly and tried to get into the heads of those involved. Join me in this effort to fill in the missing pages… Music Intro: Fractured Timeline - Sémø Outro: Wild Sea - Maya Isacowitz Sources The Origins of American Slavery - Betty Wood American Slavery, American Freedom - Edmund S.
