In the New England colonies, indentured servitude was less common, but some servants were still employed in farming and trades. Overall, indentured servitude played a significant role in the labor systems of the early American colonies.


Why did the middle colonies depended more on indentured servants then slave for labor?

The middle colonies relied more on indentured servants than slaves primarily due to their agricultural and economic conditions, which were less labor-intensive than the plantation economies of the southern colonies. The availability of land for farming and the demand for labor could be met through temporary contracts of indentured servitude, which provided a steady inflow of workers willing to work for a few years in exchange for passage to America and eventual freedom. Additionally, the social and economic frameworks of the middle colonies favored a diverse labor force that included both indentured servants and free laborers.
