Draft # 2 Introduction

Bacon’s Rellbellion - The Differences Between Classes Have anyone ever think about how the people’s lives were like when there were society classes? Well, I did think about that when I was studying about slavery. Slavery had been going on and on for many centuries, and it is still happening in Europe and Asia. And most of them are children who got kidnapped and sold to some factories to work or some girls were sold as sexual slaves. How did the slavery and other low classes’ lives like in the history? Why did people need slaves in the past? Lives of low classes and slaves would look like work, work and work everyday. The main reasons why the wealthy class need slaves was they needed people to plant a lot of tobacco and do things they did not want to do by themselves. How did people turn in to slaves in the past? And were those slaves able to get freedom ad make living after all? Right after Columbus explored America for Spain, more and more Europeans moved into America. When some poor Europeans wanted to come to America, they had to sign a contract with rich people to bring them here ,and then they would work for rich people in order to pay back. And yes, some of slaves were able to be free after they work seven years and it was the end of the contract. There were also had examples of some slaves that had to work longer than seven years just because they had children or tried to run away during the contract years. So most of the owners would add on year in their contracts. Was it a good deal to be a slave in order to pay back to the owner? Well, who knows. We can learn more about it from history documents about Bacon’s Rebellion which involved society classes’ problems and how did it started.
