Virginia replaced indentured servants with African slaves primarily due to economic factors and labor shortages. As the demand for tobacco and other cash crops grew, planters sought a more reliable and permanent labor force. Indentured servitude was less appealing as former servants could gain land and compete with masters, while enslaved Africans were considered a more controllable and long-term solution. Additionally, the decline in the availability of indentured servants after the 1670s made African slavery a more attractive option for plantation owners.
