Why did the british colonists in the Caribbean turn to African slaves as a source of labor?
The colonists originally used indentured servants, people who had a landowner pay for their passage to America in exchange for the poor to work on the rich person's land for a certain number of years. However, indentured servants couldn't be sold and bought, and they were eventually granted land and set free. The number of indentured servants coming from Europe started to decrease over the years, and the amount of labor started to increase. With nothing else to do, the British carted African slaves to be used as a labor source, even though slaves were more expensive.
What were the stereotypes that the English had about the American colonies?
The English stereotypes about the American colonies included viewing colonists as uncivilized and lacking refinement, being opportunistic and materialistic, and as having a rebellious and independent spirit. They also viewed the colonies as economically dependent and in need of guidance and control from England.
How did slavery changed over time in Colonial America?
There were very few slaves during the colonial period in British North America. Indentured servants, on the other hand, were much more common. The employers that indentured servants worked for grew financially stable, and they increased the price of labor over time, which made it difficult for servants to pay off their debt. Slavery became favored for the potential financial increases slaves produced through hard labor work. Eventually, though, the north and south states developed opposite opinions on the necessity of slaves.

Why did the middle colonies have indentured servants?
When America was still a British colony, there was a great need for workers, to help with the farms and plantations. While the southern part of the country would soon become known for using African slaves, in those early years of Colonial America, there were a large number of "indentured servants": these were young men and women from poor parts of Europe (mostly from England and Germany) who wanted to start a new (and what they hoped would be better) life in the New World. They had no money to pay for passage to America, so they indentured themselves: that is, they agreed to hire themselves out as servants to wealthy landowners in America, in exchange for passage to this country, food, clothing, and the possibility of learning some new skills. Indentured servants worked for a period of three to seven years, at which time they had (theoretically) worked off their debt and could be free to live an independent life. Unfortunately, not all of them got the new life they had hoped for, as not every landowner was a compassionate or ethical boss. Many of the European immigrants found their time in America to be quite a disappointment. On the other hand, some did manage to repay their debt and become independent farmers or tradesmen.
What led to slavery in the British colonies?
Slavery in the British colonies was primarily driven by economic factors, as the demand for labor in industries like sugar, tobacco, and cotton far exceeded the available workforce. The transatlantic slave trade provided a constant supply of enslaved Africans to meet this demand, and the legal system in the colonies supported and maintained the institution of slavery. Colonial powers also used racial stereotypes and prejudices to justify the enslavement of Africans.
