Obviously, not being free and being treated like property were major problems: since slaves were owned by their masters, they could be beaten or forced to work long hours without food or water or, in the case of female slaves, raped. They had no legal protection of any kind. Further, they were denied the right to an education, so most were unable to read and write and did not know what to do about their inhumane treatment. And the people you might expect to come to their defense, such as members of the clergy, often did not: in fact, many churches taught that the slaves were inferior and that God wanted them to be dominated by white people.

Virginia's Indentured Servants' Plot happened in 1661.
Indentured servants needed their master's permission to marry because their labor contract typically included clauses that restricted their personal freedom, including decisions regarding marriage. By controlling their ability to marry, masters could ensure that the servants were not distracted or restricted in fulfilling their work obligations. This practice also helped masters maintain control over their servants' lives and prevented unions that could potentially lead to disruptions in labor management.
In its initial years as a colony, Virginia had indentured servants. They relied on these indentured servants for most of the labor in the early years.
