Slavery became more popular in the latter half of the 17th century due to the demand of labor. The need for slaves became more and more necessary to farmers because their plots were growing, so they needed more workers for them. Tobacco was growing in demand, so many farmers were inclined to get slaves to work their fields: SUPPLY AND DEMAND. Also, slaves were cheaper, easier to replace, and easier to purchase/find/keep as opposed to indentured servants.
