Question

How did the notion of White Supremacy and the need for free labor on plantations lead to the enslavement of Black Americans and black Africans brought to America?

Answer 1

The notion of White Supremacy and the need for free labor on plantations lead to the enslavement of Black Americans and black Africans brought to America. According to the historians around 6 to 7 million black slaves were imported to the New World during the 18th century alone who worked mainly on the tobacco, rice and indigo plantations of the southern coast in the colonies of Maryland and Virginia south to Georgia. This notion of the colored men being white men’s burden led to the indentured servitude of the Africans.
