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.
