1619 : Jamestown and the forging of American democracy
After running Jamestown under martial law from 1610-1616, the Virginia Company turned toward representative government in an effort to provide settlers with more control over their own affairs and more incentive to invest further in the colony. From late July 1619 on, propertied white colonists became accustomed to freedoms that would have been unthinkable in England. But those very freedoms also permitted the wholesale and largely unchecked exploitation of poor white laborers and non-European peoples. Horn shows how, when opportunities are not shared, inequality is rampant, racism is systemic. -- adapted from publisher info
