Plantation owners used slaves to farm their crops, clean their homes, cook their food, care for their children, and care for their livestock. With just about every aspect of their lives being done through unpaid slave labor plantation owners would've had a lot of extra time to enjoy life.
Plantation owners often justified owning slaves by claiming it was part of their way of life or culture. They also argued that slaves were needed for the economic success of their plantations and that they were providing a form of care and protection for slaves who would otherwise not survive on their own.
Plantation owners preferred slaves over indentured servants because slaves were considered property, providing a long-term source of labor with no freedom or rights. Slaves could be inherited and their children born into slavery, ensuring a continuous workforce. In contrast, indentured servants had limited terms of service and some legal protections, making them less profitable and reliable for plantation owners.
Plantation owners preferred slaves over indentured servants because slaves were seen as a lifelong source of labor, whereas indentured servants typically worked for a set period before gaining their freedom. Slaves were also considered property that could be bought and sold, providing plantation owners with a greater sense of control and power.
