Why did southern planters begin to enslave workers?
I'm not so positive that I'm right, but this is what i have Because they had indentured servants which meant that they volunteered to work without pay in exchange for transportation to America. Well, once their indentured servants left they needed help so they enslaved Africans to their job for them. Hope this helps

Which states in the US were slave states?
Slavery began in all the colonies almost as soon as people began to settle the country. At first, it was in every colony and was used to meet a labor shortage. The first 20 Africans were sold to settlers in Virginia as early as 1619. White indentured servants were more numerous in the English mainland colonies, but after 1680 when the flow of indentured servants began to slow, more and more slaves begin to be brought into the colonies. By the middle of the eighteenth century slavery existed in all 13 colonies and formed the heart of the agricultural labor system in the southern colonies. In the years following the American Revolution slavery became stronger in the south and with the invention of the cotton gin, slavery really grew in the southern states. By the time of the civil war there were about 4 million slaves in these states. Between 1774 and 1804 all the northern states supposedly abolished slavery. In some northern states emancipation was immediate, but more often it was gradual, and slavery in the North actually existed right up to, and into the US Civil War. They were legally freed after the passage of the Emancipation act.
What was the social structure of Maryland like in the 1600's?
Lord Calvert sought to create a safe haven for Catholics, and several Catholic country aristocrats took him up on the offer. Maryland was primarily settled by a mix of Catholic gentlemen, artisans, indentured servants and farmers. By employing the "headright system," a hierarchy of aristocrats were established in the colony's beginnings. Artisans would have been right below the aristocrats, and farmers would be next. At the very bottom of the hierarchy chart would be the indentured servants and slaves.
Who could vote in British colonies in America?
In the American colonies, white males of at least twenty-one years of age, who were property owners were the only people who were given suffrage. This essentially meant that only wealthy colonists had the right to vote, since many either worked as indentured servants or were tenants on property they didn't own.
Why were indentured servants moving to the British colonies in North America?
For many British citizens, especially those living in poverty, the "New World" seemed like a place of opportunity. By being willing to apprentice themselves, they could get free passage to America and learn a new trade. The promise of being an indentured servant was that after you spent the agreed-upon time serving your master, he would set you free to start a new life with the new trade you had learned. It was a nice theory, and for a few people, it did work out and they were able to open their own shop or start their own business in the New World. But for others, the promise did not get fulfilled: they found themselves working for dishonest or unscrupulous people and were not able to earn the right to start a new life after all.
