“[By September], most of our men [were] sick, the rest being so miserable that they would rather starve and rot [sitting around with nothing to do] than be persuaded to do anything for their own relief. Our [food supplies] now [being eighteen days away from completely gone], and the Indian trade decreasing, I was sent to the mouth of the river to an Indian town, to trade for corn and try the river for fish, but [because of] stormy weather [we could not catch any fish]. The Indians, thinking us nearly [starved], with kindness offered us little pieces of bread and small handfuls of beans or wheat [in exchange] for a hatchet or piece of copper. I [appreciated] their kindness and… offered them [similar items as gifts]…” Source: John Smith, English explorer, speaking of events in the Virginia colony, 1608.

on the issue of class conflict, the chesapeake region offered few economic opportunities to contract employees who had served their term of obligation. even with the small amount of capital needed to grow tobacco, former hired servants at best became subsistence farmers, a mature class for those called to rebellion, such as those proposed by nathaniel bacon. as the number of new hired workers declined because of limited chances of progress and reports of severe treatment, they were replaced by african slaves.

from the racial point of view, after 1660, the chesapeake colonies imposed laws that defined slavery as a lifelong and hereditary condition based on race. this made slaves profitable because planters could rely not only on their work but also on their children. the slave population, which numbered four thousand in virginia and maryland in 1675, grew significantly by the end of the century.
