No. Indentured workers were very early in colonial history and slaves replaced them as workers.
When the colonies required indentured servants or slaves it was to do the work. The first slave arrived in Jamestown in 1609 and after tobacco got a start in the colony workers were needed. Indentured servants didn't work out as well, so more slaves were brought in than indentured servants.
There was a decline in availability of indentured servants from England. The indentured servants from England weren't good workers. Indentured servitude was outlawed in the colonies.
Blacks were used as slaves for plantation workers, or sometimes they would work inside the plantation owner's house to do chores with the servants.
The middle colonies relied more on indentured servants than slaves primarily due to their agricultural and economic conditions, which were less labor-intensive than the plantation economies of the southern colonies. The availability of land for farming and the demand for labor could be met through temporary contracts of indentured servitude, which provided a steady inflow of workers willing to work for a few years in exchange for passage to America and eventual freedom. Additionally, the social and economic frameworks of the middle colonies favored a diverse labor force that included both indentured servants and free laborers.
indentured servants
True. Plantation workers may include both indentured servants and slaves, who were historically used to perform labor on plantations. Indentured servants were often individuals who exchanged labor for passage to a new country, while slaves were forced into labor through ownership.
Indentured servants
Plantations needed many workers, including indentured servants, to cultivate labor-intensive crops like tobacco, sugar, and cotton. The demand for these crops led to the need for a large and cheap labor force to maximize profit for plantation owners. Indentured servants provided a source of labor that was more affordable than other forms of labor at the time.
Plantation owners preferred slaves over indentured servants because slaves were considered property and could be bought, sold, and inherited, providing a more permanent and stable labor force. Slaves were also seen as a lifetime investment whereas indentured servants were temporary workers whose contracts would expire. Additionally, slaves were often treated as less than human and did not have legal rights or protections, allowing plantation owners to exert complete control over them.

There were two reasons why they turned to slavery. The first one is indentured servitude was a contract for 7 years and often people didn't finish out their contract once they arrived. This meant that they could fade into the population of colonists and no one would know they were indentured servants. While slaves were African American and anyone who was black was a slave no matter where they were. This is the second reason why slaves became popular because no matter where they were they could be picked out as a slave. To leave a plantation they had to have a pass, and slaves were property while indentured servants were workers.
