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.
Indentured Servants. :)
yes they do in fact they have slavery
Becouse they did not use agriculture
Indentured servants were present in all 13 original colonies, but they were most commonly found in the Southern colonies, including Virginia, Maryland, and the Carolinas, where labor-intensive tobacco and rice farming was prevalent. They were also used in the Middle colonies, such as Pennsylvania and New York, to support agricultural and urban growth. 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.
a good climate and fertile land meant the colonists could grow a large quantity of staple crops unlike colonists in New England, some slaves worked in the the middle colonies but not as many as in the south indentured servants did more of the labor

The middle colonies depended more on indentured servants than slaves for labor because of various reasons such as cost factors, availability of labor, and European labor supply. Indentured servants were relatively cheaper than purchasing slaves, and there was a steady supply of labor from Europe willing to work under temporary contracts to pay off their passage to the New World. Additionally, the middle colonies did not have the large-scale plantation economy that characterized the Southern colonies, making the need for slave labor less pressing.
