[Other]How did attitudes toward African Americans change through 18th and early 19th centuries in America?

I think it's fair to say that 'othering' is a pretty big part of the way that white Americans have defined their relationship African Americans and justified slavery and other forms of exploitation. I'm interested in the ways in which this did, or didn't change over the course of say, 1720-1820.

At the beginning of this span, how were African Americans (mostly slaves) seen as an 'other'? Were they foreigners? Heathens?

How did this change by the end of this span? Was there a different way of defining African Americans as 'other' in 1820?
