Book Chapter
I doe not see how wee can thrive untill wee gett into a stock of slaves
2015
Overview
This chapter considers the justifications for Indian slavery in the seventeenth century. Foremost among these rationales was the need for labor both in New England and in the Atlantic and Caribbean plantations where Puritans established trade and personal ties. Pequot Indian captives represented a crucial source of workers at a time when colonists desperately needed them. Ultimately, neither moral nor legal considerations checked the move to Indian slavery. Even ministers closely concerned with evangelization of Native Americans seldom went on the record against Indian slavery in the seventeenth century. Indeed, many clergymen themselves wanted Indian slaves. Reducing Indians to servitude offered a solution to labor shortages and a means of punishing, controlling, or acculturating local native populations.
