In Europe they were indentured servants. They would work for mybe 5-7 years and then they would be free. But mose of them died before they were free. In America 17th century you were a slave for life. Also only way to get out of being a slave was to escape. Plus the slaves lived for a long time in America unlike the indentured servants. But in the the begining indentured servants were used in Jamestown before 1619 when a Dutch slave trader introduced the settlers to African American slaves.
