Collins Writing- Why did the Colonists Enslave African Americans
4/5
Historians think that the first Africans brought to America may have had the opportunity to become free. In the beginning of the American colonies, both blacks and whites were indentured servants who could become free once they paid off their debts. In 1671, the slave population was less than 5 percent of Virginia’s total non-Indian population. However, by 1700, black slaves made up 20% of Virginia’s population.

I believe they didn’t enslave the first Africans because they didn’t know that they would bring in more money they just needed help with things. Also I believe that they just wanted to test if that the Africans could work hard.
They enslave Africans because they brought in money and that decided that the Africans were doing so good and instead of setting them free how about keep them as slaves and don’t have to pay them back for any work they do.
