Men and women were needed to work the land. White bond servants, paying their passage across the ocean from Europe through indentured labor, eased but did not solve the problem. Early in the seventeenth century, a Dutch ship loaded with African slaves introduced a solution—and a new problem—to the New World. Slaves were most economical on large farms where labor-intensive cash crops, such as tobacco, could be grown. By the end of the American Revolution, slavery had proven unprofitable in the North and was dying out. Even in the South the institution was becoming less useful to farmers as tobacco prices fluctuated and began to drop. However, in 1793 Northerner Eli Whitney invented the cotton gin; this device made it possible for textile mills to use the type of cotton most easily grown in the South.

In the American tradition, the right to vote was a basic right in the new republic. Section 1 of this amendment states that as long as a person is an American citizen, he is allowed to vote and should not be denied that right because of “race, color or previous condition of servitude.” Furthermore, all citizens are able to vote in both the national and state elections. Since the constitution states that any “race” and “color” can vote, it allowed not only African Americans to vote, but also other groups that came to America. Also, in Section 2 of this document, it ensures that the voting rights are not limited or will ever be taken away from any American citizen. (Hay) In
