Colonists began using slaves from Africa in the early 1600s. In time, many areas became dependent on slave workers, and slaves soon outnumbered the European colonists. Each colony had its own slavery code. A slavery code was made up of laws that controlled the activities of slaves, such as where slaves could go and whose permission they needed. This booklet describes the lives of slaves in the colonies. Easy reading for young readers.
