Tenny 3 Jackson Tenny Slavery Free Response Essay Slavery was an economic and social system that shaped both the black and white society in the United Sates from its origins in 1619 Jamestown to its abolition by the 13th Amendment in 1865. For two and a half centuries, slavery affected family life, social status, wealth and political power in the South. Men, women and children were affected by the ?peculiar institution? and the economics of ?King Cotton?, especially after the invention of the cotton gin. Life for everyone in the Antebellum (pre-civil war) South totally revolved around slavery.

Julianne Groshon AP U.S. History ? Chapter 4 - American Life in the Seventeenth Century The Unhealthy Chesapeake Life in the American wilderness was harsh. Diseases like malaria, dysentery, and typhoid killed many. Few people lived to 40 or 50 years. In the early days of colonies, women were so scarce that men fought over all of them. The Chesapeake region had fewer women and a 6:1 male to female ratio is a good guide. Few people knew any grandparents. A third of all brides in one Maryland county were already pregnant before the wedding (scandalous). Virginia, with 59,000 people, became the most populous colony. The Tobacco Economy The Chesapeake was very good for tobacco cultivation.
