Colonists in Maryland and the Carolinas enslaved Native Americans primarily to exploit their labor for agricultural production and to meet the demands of the growing cash crop economy. Additionally, European settlers viewed Native Americans as obstacles to land expansion and sought to diminish their influence and presence. Enslaving Indigenous people was also a means of exerting control and asserting dominance over the region. This practice reflected broader colonial attitudes of racial superiority and economic exploitation.
