Recruited as an inexpensive source of labor, enslaved Africans in the United States also became important economic and political capital in the American political economy. Enslaved Africans were legally a form of property—a commodity. Individually and collectively, they were frequently used as collateral in all kinds of business transactions. They were also traded for other kinds of goods and services.

The first record of African slavery in Colonial America occurred in 1619. A Dutch ship, its name unrecorded by those present, had captured 20 enslaved Africans in a battle with a Spanish ship bound for the Caribbean. The Dutch ship had been damaged first by the battle and then more severely in a great storm during the late summer when it came ashore at Jamestown. Though the colony was in the middle of a period later known as "The Great Migration" (1618-1623), during which its population grew from 450 to 4,000 residents, extremely high mortality rates from disease, malnutrition, and war with Indians kept the population of able-bodied laborers low.[1] The Dutch ship being in severe need of repairs and supplies and the colonists being in need of able bodied workers, the human cargo was traded for food and services. The white citizens of Jamestown, who had themselves arrived from Britain, decided to treat the first Africans in Virginia as indentured servants.

<p>I feel confident in my answer [inexpensive labor].</p>

<p>whats 12 wrong, 4 blank on this test?</p>

<p>any replies would be GREATLY appreciated as I need to know whether to cancel or not</p>

<p>No it was labor shortage. I specifically rememebr it saying in AMSCO it saying that fewer people were emigrating from England in 1680's because of higher wages in Europe and the colonissts needed workers.</p>

<p>were haymarket, pullman, and homestead conflict between laborers and owners??</p>

<p>Btw McCarthy went down because he started accusing soldiers in the army of being communists and he never found an proof except some army dentist who might have been a communist. This was his downfall.</p>

<p>what was the one with JFK, Mccarthy, and nixon?
they all started their political careers after whatever, anticommunist?</p>

<p>haymarket,pull, homestead conflict between laborers and owners i put
the AFL question, i think i put bread and butter, or maybe i skipped it? omg i really hope i put the answer down.</p>

<p>btw, i'm a soph if that helps. i'm thinking about canceling the score b/c i think it's gonna be 600ish and i don't want colleges to see scores like that. would they be upset or would it actually help if i keep the score this year and do a very good job when i retake it next time? thx guys in advance!!!</p>

<p>the one w/WWII, which was not true, Wasn't Nixon(i think) the one who integrated the army?</p>

<p>Also the chinese exclusions act- i thought the laborers would support it the most b/c when they come, they provide cheap labor, and thus would take jobs away from them...</p>

<p>the mccarthy questions, i put the one with liberty, something like he violated personal liberty...oh wait, it's NOT liberty, omfg i'm gonna die</p>

<p>yes, the chinese exclusion one was definitely the laborers for that very reason.</p>

<p>your WWII answer sounds okay, but i can't quite remember the other choices. does anyone remember that one?</p>

<p>ishbaca - 12 wrong 4 omitted = -19 = 740</p>

<p>I can confirm the Nader question was consumer rights. I'm 100% sure.</p>

<p>damn, i didn't witness nader anywhere in my readings but i knew he was in the green party so i took a stab and guessed the nuclear power answer</p>

<p>Yeah I was between the nuclear one and consumer rights, but thankfully I remembered his consumer safety thing. I was definitely not expecting a question on something so recent because my teacher told us over and over that there are almost never questions on recent stuff.</p>

<p>uhh i'm pretty sure it was truman who integrated the army?</p>

<p>It was Truman.</p>

<p>^yeah or truman...LOL but that wasn't what they asked for. can u confirm that WWII question?</p>

<p>i hope dustbowl wasnt in the choices...people keep scaring me</p>

<p>I put something with a drought thats all I know. If there was another choice that actually said the word dustbowl i'm screwed</p>

<p>Which question was "that WWII question"?</p>

<p>Freezenthaw, I remember putting down something about a drought too. I was very sure it was correct.</p>

<p>ok good hahaha i was really sure too</p>

<p>but because everyone keeps saying dustbowl and I didn't look over the choices carefully I could have missed an obvious answer</p>

<p>plus i was 99 percent sure Zoot Suit Riots were in Detroit and I got killed</p>

<p>i cant afford to get anymore wrong agghh</p>
