Slaves Indentured Servants
indentured servants or slaves
The middle colonies depended more on indentured servants than slaves for labor because of various reasons such as cost factors, availability of labor, and European labor supply. Indentured servants were relatively cheaper than purchasing slaves, and there was a steady supply of labor from Europe willing to work under temporary contracts to pay off their passage to the New World. Additionally, the middle colonies did not have the large-scale plantation economy that characterized the Southern colonies, making the need for slave labor less pressing.
In the 13 original English colonies, indentured servants were replaced by African slaves because unlike slaves, servants were guaranteed to be eventually released from bondage, and therefore slaves would provide renewable sources of labor.
Fewer indentured servants arrived as conditions in Europe improved.
The majority of indentured servants were in the northern colonies, such as New York and Pennsylvania, while the southern colonies, like Virginia and South Carolina, had more slaves due to their reliance on plantation agriculture. Of these, Virginia had the most indentured servants, while South Carolina had relatively fewer slaves compared to other southern colonies.
