Glenn Beck is a big fat idiot and knows nothing about history.

Slavery in the Colonial Era
"Slavery spread quickly in the American colonies. At first the legal status of Africans in America was poorly defined, and some?like European indentured servants?managed to become free after several years of service.
From the 1660s, however, the colonies began enacting laws that defined and regulated slave relations; central to these laws was the provision that black slaves, and the children of slave women, would serve for life. By the eve of the American Revolution, slaves constituted about 40 percent of the population of the southern mainland colonies, with the highest concentration in South Carolina, where well over half the population were slaves."
