following primary source quote:
"The first object which saluted my eyes when I arrived on the coast was the sea, and a slave ship, which was then riding in at anchor, and waiting for its cargo. These filled me with astonishment, which was soon converted in to terror, which I am yet at a loss to describe . . . I was now persuade that I had gotten into a world of bad spirits, and they were going to kill. Their complexions too differing from ours, their long hair, and the language they spoke. .
. I was soon put down under the decks, and there I received such a salutation in my nostrils as I had never experienced in my life; so that with loathsomeness of the stench and crying together, I became so sick and low that I was not able to eat."

Read the excerpt from History and
Present State of Virginia, published in 1705:
"Slaves are the Negroes, and their Posterity, following the condition of the Mother, according to the Maxim, partus sequitur ventrem [status follows the womb]. They are call'd Slaves, in respect of the time of their Servitude, because it is for Life.Servants, are those which serve only for a few years, according to the time of their Indenture, or the Custom of the Country. The Custom of the Country takes place upon such as have no Indentures. The
Law in this case is, that if such Servants be under Nineteen years of Age, they must be brought into Court, to have their Age adjudged; and from the Age they are judg'd to be of, they must serve until they reach four and twenty: But if they be adjudged upwards of Nineteen, they are then only to be Servants for the term of five Years."An analysis of the excerpt reveals two different labor systems at work in the Southern colonies.
