The document discusses the development of African-American culture from the period of slavery in colonial America. It notes that slavery began slowly but increased dramatically after 1675 as the slave population grew to meet labor demands on plantations. During this period, African cultural practices mixed with European and Native American influences to form a distinct African-American culture, seen in musical traditions, folk tales, Christianity and language. While slaves were found across British North America, the South developed a "slave society" dependent on the institution of slavery more so than other regions.

- Transatlantic slave trade also given impetus when British revoked charter of Royal Africa Company in 1698, allowing N.E. merchants to ply the African slave trade, and when English forced an “Asiento” from the Spanish in 1713, in which that government agreed to supply British New World colonies with 4800 slaves per year for 30 years.

- Massachusetts Lawes & Liberties (1641) had a provision making slavery illegal “unless it be lawfull Captives taken in just warres, and such strangers as willingly sell themeselves or are sold to us.” The word “strangers” was removed in 1670, thus allowing for the sale of children born to slaves in the state. Other New England colonies modeled their laws on Massachusetts’.
- Notes Greene: “The New England slave had to be equally at home in the cabbage patch and in the cornfield; he must be prepared not only to care for stock, to acts as servant, repair a fence, serve on board ship, shoe a horse, print a newspaper, but even to manage his master’s business.”Prince was a devoted slave who superintended his master’s farm in Framingham in the mid-18th century.
