Slave Law in Colonial Virginia: A Timeline

1607: Jamestown, the first British North American settlement, was founded in Virginia.

1619: The first African Americans arrived in Jamestown, Virginia.

1640: Virginia courts sentenced a black run away servant, John Punch, to "serve his said master . . . for the time of

his natural Life."

1660: Virginia law enacted on English running away with negroes.

BEE itt enacted That in case any English servant shall run away in company with any negroes who are incapable of

makeing satisfaction by addition of time, Bee itt enacted that the English so running away in company with them shall

serve for the time of the said negroes absence as they are to do for their owne by a former act.

1662: Virginia law enacted on: Run-aways.

WHEREAS there are diverse loytering runaways in this country who very often absent themselves from their masters

service and sometimes in a long time cannot be found, that losse of the time and the charge in the seeking them often

exceeding the value of their labor: Bee it therefore enacted that all runaways that shall absent themselves from their

said masters shalbe lyable to make satisfaction by service after the times by custome or indenture is expired (vizt.)

double their times of service soe neglected, and if the time of their running away was in the crop or the charge of

recovering them extraordinary the court shall lymitt a longer time of service proportionable to the damage the master

shall make appeare he hath susteyned, and because the adjudging the time they should serve is often referred untill

the time by indenture is expired, when the proofe of what is due is very uncertaine, it is enacted that the master of

any runaway that intends to take the benefitt of this act, shall as soone as he hath recovered him carry him to the next

commissioner and there declare and prove the time of his absence, and the charge he hath bin at in his recovery,

which commissioner thereupon shall grant his certificate, and the court on that certificate passe judgment for the time

he shall serve for his absence; and in case any English servant shall run away in company of any negroes who are

incapable of making satisfaction by addition of a time, it is enacted that the English soe running away in the company

with them shall at the time of service to their owne masters expired, serve the masters of the said negroes for their

absence soe long as they should have done by this act if they had not beene slaves, every christian in company serving

his proportion; and if the negroes be lost or dye in such time of their being run away, the christian servants in company

with them shall by proportion among them, either pay fower thousand five hundred pounds of tobacco and caske or

fower yeares service for every negroe soe lost or dead.

1662: Virginia law enacted: Negro womens children to serve according to the condition of the mother.

WHEREAS some doubts have arrisen whether children got by any Englishman upon a negro woman should be slave or

ffree, Be it therefore enacted and declared by this present grand assembly, that all children borne in this country shalbe

held bond or free only according to the condition of the mother, And that if any christian shall committ ffornication with

a negro man or woman, hee or shee so offending shall pay double the ffines imposed by the former act.

1667: Virginia law enacted, declaring that baptisme of slaves doth not exempt them from bondage.

WHEREAS some doubts have risen whether children that are slaves by birth, and by the charity and piety of their

owners made pertakers of the blessed sacrament of baptisme, should by vertue of their baptisme be made ffree; It is

enacted and declared by this grand assembly, and the authority thereof, that the conferring of baptisme doth not

alter the condition of the person as to his bondage or freedome; that diverse masters, ffreed from this doubt, may

more carefully endeavour the propagation of christianity by permitting children, though slaves, or those of growth if

capable to be admitted to that sacrament

1669: Virginia law enacted: An act about the casuall killing of slaves.

What challenges would you face if you had to support yourself by living off the island during colonial America

Answers

Answer:

Food, water, and shelter would be the biggest concern if your still colonizing. If you don't have stuff like wood, or hunting gear shelter and food would be hard to obtain, if you don't have food, you die, and if you don't have shelter by winter, you die. Plus, you would have to stockpile water seeing as the water freezes over in the winter, so you'd have to keep it in a warm place as well, and being on your own makes all of the above a lot harder to do.

A. It becomes too dependent on voluntary exchange with other
countries.
O B. It pays high opportunity costs for goods it does not specialize in
producing.
C. It creates a division of labor that forces workers to specialize in
certain skills.
O D. It reduces the total economic value of its human and physical
capital.

Answers

Answer: B. It pays high opportunity costs for goods it does not specialize in  producing.

Explanation:

Due to the presence of different resources as well as other socio-economic factors that are present in the different nations of the world, there are goods and services that are more suitable to the produced in one country than in another.

If a country that is not suitable to produce a good starts doing so, it will incur high opportunity costs because they would be sacrificing the resources they have to produce the less suitable good when they could use less resources to produce more of the goods they are more suited to.

A country that plans to go self sufficient may find that there are some goods that they need that they are not suitable to produce. To produce it therefore, they will incur high opportunity costs because they simply do not specialize in its production.

Answer:B. It pays high opportunity costs for goods it does not specialize in  producing

What theme or central idea is suggested by the author’s response in paragraph 71 to the factory lecture “The Happy Worker and His Work”? Does it prove to be true for her?

Answers

Did you forget to say that this question is about "America and I" by Anzia Yezierska

Answer:

The central idea suggested by the author in this paragraph is that the American dream is a farce. Recognizing this weakness, the author does not regard the lecture "the happy worker and his work" as true for her.

Explanation:

The author of the article is a Russian woman who, still very young, immigrated with her family to the USA in search of the American dream and freedom. However, the author never managed to achieve the American dream and saw that even in America, the working class is oppressed and does not have its needs met, but is exposed to fallacies that build an illusion about how happy and privileged workers are.

Upon hearing the lecture on "the happy worker and his work" the author understands that the American dream is a scam, she will never reach it, because she will never have time to find it if she needs to work to survive, like most people in that country. For her, the lecture is a lie and no worker will be happy if he needs to work to survive. In this case, work is not an accomplishment, but an obligation.

Imagine you are a European explorer in the 1400s. Do you think you would be most motivated by religious conversion, global market opportunities, or competition with other European nations? Why?

Answers

Answer:

global market opportunities

Explanation:

Most European explorers of the 1400s, like Columbus or Ferdinand Magellan, were sailors working either for private merchant companies, or for nation states seeking new trade opportunities.

For example, Columbus sailed west looking for a new sea route from Europe to Asia, since communications between the two continents had been made difficult by Ottoman dominance over the Eastern Mediterranean, and Persian dominance over Central Asia. Columbus, in fact, died without having realized that he had landed in the Americas.

Answer: It is an excellent opportunity for the global market

Explanation:

In terms of the 1400s, motivation would come mainly from religious conversion. The 14th century is known as the second to last century of what was called the Middle Ages; in those ages, people took a deep interest in religious conversion because it’s where most powers came from. People also during this time manipulated others into doing things and putting them in the name of God.
