I agree with this answer but only to a point:
While in the early colonies slavery was mainly indentured servants... However, during this early point in American history this was the case in both the North and the South..
Slavery of Africans became prevalent in both the North and the South at around the same time..
Northern slavery grew out of the paradox that in the new world so much land was available, so cheaply, that no one was willing to come to America and sign on to work as a laborer.
The dream that drew Europeans across the Atlantic was owning acres of land or making a fortune in a trade or a craft. It was an attainable dream.
Yet workers were needed in the new continent to clear the land, work the soil, build towns and because of this acute labor shortage -- all the American colonies turned to compulsory labor.
In New Netherland, (which is now modern New York) in the 1640s, a free European worker could be hired for 280 guilders a year, plus food and lodging. In the same time and place, experienced African slaves from the West Indies could be bought outright, for life, for 300 guilders. So...
Don't be fooled to think that all was peaches and creme for Northern Slaves.
In fact, they were treated about the same as those in the south...
