Economics also played a role in Virginia in 1600's, where tobacco was thought to be the important and profitable crop. English settlers began by taking land away from the Native Americans so that they would have the land for agriculture. The Native Americans were not likely "targets" for the settlers to enslave, so indentured servants were brought over from England. At this time, the settlers believed that indentured servants were actually cheaper than West African slaves, because the West Africans required more money to be available for purchasing and transporting them to the New World.
Economic necessity alone does not justify the reason West Africans were "chosen" to be enslaved, as opposed to Native Americans or anyone else. Betty Wood suggests that another reason contributing to the capture of West Africans is racism (the belief that one race is more superior/inferior than another). In Chapter 2, Betty Wood stresses that the racism shown toward West Africans was based on the religious beliefs of the English. She says that the English could not justify the color of the West African's skin or hair, because they believed Adam and Eve were the first pro-creators, and that they were also white. The English saw no formalized religion in the West Africans, either, and therefore thought they were less humane. However, the author says that the Native Americans were viewed to most resemble the English because of the lighter skin and hair color, and because of the religious traditions and hierarchy established in the Native American's way of political and social lives. The English viewed the Native Americans as friendly and necessary for their knowledge of hunting. The English also viewed them to be very important "assets" in their quarrels with Spain, and they believed that the Native Americans could easily be taught the English ways and help spread the new religion around the New World.
