Indentured servitude and slavery arose in North America by the colonies/ colonists
needed another source of labor since most Native Americans became sick and as a
result died because they weren't immune to the diseases that the Europeans brought
with them to America. The colonists, especially Spanish priest Bartolome de Las Casas
came up with an idea of enslaving/ capturing Africans to America to do the work
because they had an immunity to the British diseases. Over colonial time, the demands
for slaves increased. Since their was very high death rates, which led to labor
shortages, the colonists began using indentured servants [were servants that signed a
contract to work for four to seven years for those who paid for their journey to
America].
