Some of the first settlers in seventeenth century America were British revolutionaries escaping religious prejudices back home. During this settlement, slaves were forcefully brought onto American soil to support growing agricultural demands in an age of economic augmentation. The settlers took advantage of the non-English-speaking Africans, condemning their culture and religious ritual practices, treating them as savages and leaving the laws open for vague interpretations. The preference for the white indentured servants quickly decreased, as the planter felt financially disadvantaged as more white slaves earned freedom. In the meantime, slave trade grows as the economy is stimulated and the British want a piece of the pie. In 1775, the tensions between British authorities and the new settlers lead to the Revolutionary War. Slaves were in support of the British because of their anti-slave sentiment. One could find many disappointed slaves following their Declaration of Independence from Britain forming the United States of America. This "new country" was now lived by people with no respect for a central authority and goals to capitalize on the institution of slavery leaving them with an illusion of freedom - economic, political and religious. Simply put, it was a country that formed individualistic ideals from a controversial religious and political past - one with boundless opportunities.
America was a premature country formed by revolutionaries who adamantly demanded their independence from other countries, and at the same time used those experiences as a guideline. The colonization of this "New World" by Europeans increased commerce and industry resulting in a great expansion of slavery. The industrial economy of the northern states eventually outlawed slavery. However, in the agricultural South, morality and economy became obscure as pro-slavery supporters embraced its advantages.
