Answer 2

ANSWER: Most students will note the obvious economic advantages that slave labor provided over indentured servitude: slaves did not get paid and they were never freed. Students need to be reminded that these advantages were just as true in 1650 as they were in 1750, but in 1650 Virginians didn't use slaves extensively, and in 1750 they did. Stronger essays will point to the improved health that enabled survival rates to improve. They will point to the drying up of the pool of indentured servants in England at the same time as the reduction in prices for African slaves. The best students will draw a link between internal conflict (as seen in Bacon's Rebellion, discussed in the previous chapter) and the stability coming from slavery.
