This was one of my few questions that i was struggling with.

A) Describe the growth of North American slavery from 1619 to 1789. Include the status of the first Africans in North America, laws later established to govern them, and the reasons why planters switched from a labor force consisting of indentured servants to one that comprised African slaves.

Thank you for the possible help.
