Answer 1

In the House of Burgesses it was not until 1644 that the topic of slavery was discussed (Degler 31). It was such the case that in the years between 1620 and 1660 in Virginia and Maryland record show that the word “slaves” was hardly used, the term used to describe Africans was “Negroes” (Degler 29). But, due to all of the reasons mentioned above, it got to a point where slaves were seen as inferior and considered property. In 1660 when it was legally defined who was a slave and the general concept was accepted throughout colonial America, the idea of a slave code emerged. The first comprehensive slave code was passed in 1661, in the island of Barbados. This code became widely accepted for all colonies in the Caribbean and soon thereafter, most mainland colonies accepted them as well.
