They are both slaves.
An indentured slave has a choice and gets paid while a regular slave, has no choice and isn't paid.
EDIT:
They are not both slaves. An indentured servant works for room and board and passage to the New World for a set amount of time and still has rights and was treated humanely.
Landowners may prefer slaves over indentured servants because slaves are considered property and have lifelong servitude, while indentured servants have a set period of servitude and can demand compensation or freedom after their term is complete. This gives landowners more control and long-term labor security with slaves.
Common punishments for breaking the rules of indentured servitude included extension of the servitude term, physical punishment such as whipping, fines, or in severe cases, imprisonment.
Yes, the New England colony did have both slaves and indentured servants. While slavery was practiced in New England, particularly in industries like shipping and agriculture, the number of slaves was lower compared to the Southern colonies. Indentured servitude was also common in New England, where individuals would work under a contract for a specified period of time in exchange for passage to the colonies or other benefits.
Indentured servitude was outlawed in the United States with the passage of the Thirteenth Amendment to the Constitution in 1865, which abolished slavery and involuntary servitude.
Indentured servitude declined mainly due to factors such as the emergence of wage labor, changes in laws and regulations, and the shift towards chattel slavery in the Americas. As the demand for labor changed and it became easier to rely on other forms of labor, such as enslaved people, the practice of indentured servitude became less common. Additionally, criticism of the exploitative nature of indentured servitude and efforts to abolish the practice also contributed to its decline.
Indentured servants were cheaper to employers compared to slaves.
Slaves replaced indentured servants as a system of labor in many colonies in the Americas. Indentured servants were individuals who worked in exchange for passage to the Americas and eventual freedom, while slaves were forced into lifelong servitude without hope of freedom.
