Respuesta :

C.) the importation of African slaves to the English colonies

Explanation:

  • The first documented Africans arrived in Virginia in 1619. They were from the Ndongo kingdom in Angola, west central Africa, and were captured during the war with the Portuguese.
  • Interestingly, these first, Africans were treated as paid servants, and after proving themselves to be physically enduring, the practice of owning Africans as lifelong slaves emerged in the middle of the century.
  • The number of African slaves increased significantly in the second half of the 17th century, replacing paid servants and becoming the primary source of labor.
