| The 17 th century is a period of rapid development of British capitalism,but on the other hand,capital is also restricted by raw materials,markets and other factors.In order to break through the inherent boundaries of time and space,capital demanded to expand outward,which gave birth to the cause of American colonization.After the capital entered Barbados,tobacco,cotton,indigo and sucrose cultivation were successively developed.This process is the essential requirement for capital to pursue profit,during which there is no change of production relations,only the change of production mode.The production mode of sugar plantation is only the carrier of capital accumulation and proliferation.However,the land annexation caused by the primitive accumulation of capital destroys the economic foundation on which the white contractual servants depend,and the capital proliferation also exerts more and more serious social domination on the white contractual servants.The oppression of capital led to the loss of white contract servants.In order to make up for the shortage of labor force and maintain the profits of sugar plantation,British colonists began to import black slaves.However,the use of black slaves only solved the problem of economic production,but complicated the relationship between capital and workers.White indentured servants and black slaves gradually moved towards class unity.In order to maintain this movement of capital self proliferation and split the union between white indentured servants and black slaves,planters began to use racist smoke bombs to cover up the conflicts between planters and enslaved workers,and established them in the form of laws.Thus,a capitalist black slavery society with racism as its core was established. |
