Problem:
Civil discourse forum : There were a lot of obvious labor and economics benefits to creating a race based slave system, however the transition to race based slavery was more complex than what might be obvious to a 21st century student. Read Edmund Morgan's paper, " Slavery and fri: the American Paradox " and as a class evaluate his argument that wealthy English anxieties about English poorer people living in the colonies encouraged the development of a race based slave system. What evidence does Morgan provide that proves his point?
