Resumo

The historiography of slavery often adopts a comparative perspective. However, very little is known in Brazil about the slaveholders in other slave societies. This article, therefore, looks into three issues: the fact that the establishment of the dominant groups in the English Southern Colonies of North America is closely connected to the exploitation of slaves as the main workforce; the importance of economic criteria for their constitution as a class; and their exercise of political power over the white common people under the sovereignty of the English monarchs.
