Answer:
For Edmund S. Morgan American slavery and American freedom go together hand in hand. Morgan argues that many historians seem to ignore writing about the early development of American freedom simply because it was shaped by the rise of slavery. It seems ironic that while one group of people is trying to break the mold and become liberated, that same group is making others confined and shattering their respectability. The aspects of liberty, race, and slavery are closely intertwined in the essay, "Slavery and Freedom: The American Paradox." The contradictions between slavery and freedom are very apparent throughout history. America started out with the intentions of becoming separate and equal.

Perhaps this led to slavery for those who did not own land. Many think slavery was always race based, but Jefferson 's position shows a different view. The problem with the landless workers escalated to its height in 1676 when about one fourth of freemen in Virginia did not own any land of their own (132). Many of these men wandered about, living dangerous and non goal oriented lives. These people were causing big problems among the Virginia population. While they needed the immigrants to work, when they were turned free they went out of control. Eventually this led to Bacon 's Rebellion. The problem was similar to that in England so they treated it the same way, with many tough restrictions of liberty (134). In efforts to control everything the government ended up preserving the rights of Englishmen by destroying the rights of Africans (135). This decision led to the beginning of African slavery in Virginia. This new kind of slavery proved to be cheap and grew very quickly. These are the origins of the race based slavery that we are more familiar with. Virginia made separate laws for the whites and blacks, basically punishing the black and protecting the white (137). While Virginia was worried about the slaves attacking them they ended up being very easily controlled.
