Abstract
The author deals in his article with the question of the origin of slavery in the colonial North America whereas in the centre of his attention is mainly the legal anchorage of this woeful institution. He points mainly to the closure of slavery with the white indentured servitude towards which is slavery particularly defined.
Further he notices as well the attitudes of the important thinkers of the anglo-american aerea towards this question which in this manner inevitably concerns also the relation of the natural law and slavery. He points to that although this institution was sentenced from the side of the natural law she was also fully accepted as the part of the colonial legal system.
