why was slave labor preferred over indentured servants
A.) Slaves worked harder than indentured servants
B.) Indentured servants became a riskier option and more slaves became available
C.) The Colonists wanted a more diverse working population
D.) Indentured servants were older and needed more care
I think its B. Slaves were not only free labor, but also your property. Indentured servants were merely in your dept, and would be able to leave at some point, and whats after that? Who'll take their place?
