Great presentation. I only wish you would have let the public know that after Bacons Rebellion, British legislature, through Governor Berkley, first used the words 'white' to describe a group of people. Words to describe e 'blacks' definately wasn't 'african Americans'. If possible, can you include this fact in next presentation concerning Bacons Rebellion. This led to 'An Act Concerning Servants and Slaves' encyclopedia of Virginia1705, which also excludes 'blacks' or Moors that were I amnity with the queen, from being enslaved( later re iterated by the 'Moorish Sundey Act'. Thank you.

You can also see it from the perspective of historical materialism: to maintain class dominance and alienation of your lower classes that you use labour from, you create a caste system to keep them from cooperation and giving them the opportunity to see their production as their own. That way, the Virginia Slave Code of 1705, nor even later on, the post-civil war Jim Crowe laws and codes of conduct isn't that surprising. If you lack a means to separate your workforce from identifying their inequality, you construct one, a hierarchy of alienation.

@@chissstardestroyer You're describing Republicans from 1890-1954 after the last prominent Republican to endorse the civil rights plank before Northern Republicans removed it from party platform to perform better with a white electorate whose views ranged from indifferent to outright hostile just as the black-and-tan faction lost out to lily-whites for representation in the South (that would be Chester A. Arthur btw) all the way to Ike's federal desegregation orders after Brown in 1954 and the first civil rights acts to be passed since Reconstruction in 1957 and 1960, which of course was precipitated by Truman's desegregation of the armed forces thereby heralding of new era of federal support for civil rights. After the events of the mid 60s however, Republicans have become staunchly opposed to addressing the concerns of the formerly best-performing demographic they had and took for granted all those decades. ...Or worse, sponsored legislation specifically targeting them since Nixon launching the War on Drugs despite the findings of his own REPUBLICAN-LED Commission on Marihuana and Drug Abuse and Reagan's Mulford Act (which was introduced into state legislatures nationwide; kinda similar to the spread of Stand Your Ground laws). No wonder you have a hard time getting black voters to vote for you anymore.

When you use the term “slaves,” as you’re assuming we’ll believe the “slaves” were African and “indentured” servants were all “white.” Americans enslaved “indigenous” people.before Africans. “Enslaved Africans “ is a more accurate than just “slaves,” as you never fail to indentfy “indentured servants” as “white.” The term “white “ wasn’t invented by the Virginia Burgesses as a legal distinction until 1681, after the Bacon Rebellion. These anonymous “black” men you mentioned who participated in the Bacon Rebellion were not identified as free Africans. Many free Africans did own land and had the same rights and privileges as other British colonists, as it was British law.

But even after the rebellion, England started to ship over hundreds of their convicts, cause basically it helped England get rid of their 'undesirables,' and because they were convicts, they weren't given the 'freedom dues' such as land, and could extend their years of service on a whim. So while slavery started to become more dominate, convict servitude sky rocketed.

The lack of labor white indentured labor had little to do with the conditions in Virginia. Go in just a mile or two from the coast it was old growth eastern woodlands. The Powhatan and other tribes (not of the Powhatan confederacy) had made up a population of between 14 to 20 thousand people. They farmed, hunted and thrived for thousands of years. Indentured servitude had diminished greatly in England. When Jamestown was established, unemployment in London alone was about 30%. It was illegal to be unemployed and on the streets. Still, very few people in a country of 5 million wanted to sign up in the first place. By the time of the first Virginia Assembly in 1619 (House of burgesses), England was far better off financially for a number of reasons. Yes, Tobacco does deplete the soil. But this made it better for planting traditional English crops (Wheat, Barley) because it was used to over farmed soil in England. Virginia Company sent over nearly 200 women in 1620 and 21. The Bacon's Rebellion part is pretty close to correct.

The trail not only opened the freedom of the press, but it also seemed to redefine court hearings for libel. Zenger won the case by having the jury find him not guilty of printing the story. However, the narration states the jury was only to decide if the defendant did in fact print the story and the judge was to decide if it was scandalous. This appears to change how future trails would be held. As far as freedom of the press it can be argued I think either way. That it promoted the press freedom, or it didn't. But it must be kept in mind that it was the sitting Govenor who first brought the charges and tried to restrict the paper. He lost which in turn also starting the decrease the power of the government over the press.
