Race

Race ,a group of people sharing the same culture, history, language, etc.; an ethnic group. This word's origin goes back the early 16th century and by 1619 the word determined if you were a land owner or the person forced to work on it. Everyone is aware of the history of slavery and how it ended, but many do not know how it started. This is the topic I have chosen to cover in my blog.
When the pilgrim finally comprehended that they needed to farm in order to survive they realized they needed people to do it. It all started with native Americans and Caucasian people paying off debts by working for land owners. As the native Americans started to die off the need for workers widely increased, that's where the Africans came in and made property instead of people. They were property instead of temporary workers, that is where they were lease likely to die of diseases.
