The Origins of Chattel Slavery
The Origins of Chattel Slavery is a skill on Pengi from Lesson 3: The Columbian Exchange in Pengi Social Studies (Grade 7).
Key Concepts
European colonists in the Americas established huge Plantations to grow cash crops like sugar and tobacco. Initially, they tried to enslave Native Americans, but the indigenous people died rapidly from disease.
To replace this labor force, Europeans turned to Africa. Unlike earlier forms of slavery, the Atlantic Slave Trade was based on race and was hereditary (children of slaves were also slaves). This system, known as Chattel Slavery , treated human beings as property to be bought and sold, dehumanizing millions of Africans to fuel the European economy.
