For this answer, you should look at Bacon's Rebellion- Where Nathanial Bacon revolted against the governor of Virginia, attempting to burn down all of Jamestown. The reason the former indentured servants threatened the elit is because Bacon's mob was comprised of jaded indentured servants (who were getting the short end of the stick when it came to land) and African slaves. After the uprising, none of the wealthy settlers wanted to hire indentured servants, so they turned to African slavery as their main means of labor.
Virginia replaced indentured servants with African slaves primarily due to economic factors and labor shortages. As the demand for tobacco and other cash crops grew, planters sought a more reliable and permanent labor force. Indentured servitude was less appealing as former servants could gain land and compete with masters, while enslaved Africans were considered a more controllable and long-term solution. Additionally, the decline in the availability of indentured servants after the 1670s made African slavery a more attractive option for plantation owners.
Whites were used as inderntured servants though blacks were mostly slaves.

The first African Americans to arrive in the English colonies were indentured servants. They were probably shocked when slavery became common soon after that.
