re: #220 Wendell Zurkowitz ((slave to the waffle light))

Don’t forget the reason that slavery was introduced in America: the original planters were too lazy to do the work themselves and too cheap to actually pay someone to do it. Plus the Native Americans they tried to force into labor would just run off into the wilderness and join other free Natives.

They needed to import people who were foreign to the region, less likely to r-u-n-n o-f-f-t and immediately identifiable as such.

In the 17th century there weren’t enough settlers to do intensive farming themselves, lazy or otherwise.
