Slaves and indentured servants allowed Southern plantation and farm owners to maximize the profits from sale of their crops by eliminating the need to pay wages to their workers. Indentured servants were much more popular in the North, however, as many of them were poor, skilled whites who emigrated from Europe and agreed to enter a limited servitude in order to pay off the cost of their crossing. Southerners were disinclined to take this option, as the servants would eventually need to be freed, and most of them even earned a small wage.
