Slaves became cheaper because the Royal African Company lost its monopoly so everyone could transport slaves to the New World. An influx of slaves meant they were cheaper than before and also planters didn't trust indentured servants after Bacon's Rebellion

Why did the southern colonies rely on both indentured servitude and slavery?

The southern colonies relied on both indentured servitude and slavery to support their labor-intensive agricultural economy. Indentured servants provided a low-cost labor source for a temporary period, while slavery provided a more permanent and exploitable workforce to meet the demand for labor on plantations. This dual system allowed the colonies to sustain their profitable cash crop production.

Both, but indentures were more common there. They were poor laborers paying off the transportation costs to come to america.

Buying a slave was usually far cheaper than arranging an indenture, paying for transportation, and tracking labor payments against that debt.

Where the middle colonies depended on indentured servitude and or slavery or not at all?

The middle colonies, which included New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Delaware, relied on a mix of labor systems, including indentured servitude and slavery, but to a lesser extent than the southern colonies. Indentured servitude was more common in the early years, with many immigrants working for a set period in exchange for passage to America. However, by the 18th century, the use of enslaved labor began to increase, particularly in urban centers and on larger farms. Overall, while the middle colonies did utilize both systems, they were characterized by a more diverse economy that included small-scale farming and trade, reducing their dependence on slavery compared to the South.
