There were very few slaves during the colonial period in British North America. Indentured servants, on the other hand, were much more common. The employers that indentured servants worked for grew financially stable, and they increased the price of labor over time, which made it difficult for servants to pay off their debt. Slavery became favored for the potential financial increases slaves produced through hard labor work. Eventually, though, the north and south states developed opposite opinions on the necessity of slaves.

How did the early settlements in Colonial America differ in their beliefs toward slavery during the 1600s?
In the 1600s, early settlements in Colonial America exhibited varied beliefs toward slavery largely influenced by economic needs and cultural backgrounds. The Southern colonies, driven by agricultural economies, increasingly embraced slavery as a means of labor for cash crops like tobacco and rice, leading to a more entrenched system. Conversely, the Northern colonies initially relied less on slavery, with many inhabitants holding more egalitarian views shaped by religious and moral beliefs, although slavery still existed in some forms. Over time, these differing perspectives would contribute to regional tensions that played a significant role in America’s future.
