Zinn+Chapter+3+Reading+Objectives

After reading Chapter 3 from __A People's History of the United States__, you should be able to answer the following questions:

1. What was the economic condition of Virginia in 1676? 2. Why would a European man or woman become an indentured servant? In your opinion, was this a result of choice or, what Zinn calls, "historical forces"? 3. Compare and contrast indentured servitude with African slavery in terms of the following categories:
 * Period of Servitude
 * Conditions/Rights during Servitude
 * Conditions of Voyage
 * Reasons for/Cause of Servitude
 * Forms of Resistance (examples are good!)
 * Methods by which they were controlled

4. What experiences besides economic deprivation or hardship might have caused colonists to resent their local or colonial governments? 5. What tactics did the wealthy elite/rich rulers adopt to prevent another Bacon's Rebellion? Were these tactics, in your opinion, successful?
