Why did African slavery replace indentured servants?

Answer 1

Indentured service worked for a benefit and for a set amount of time (often years.) However, slaves were worked for no benefit, and for free. Basically, slaves were profitable and didn't settle to pay off debts.

Answer 2

They did so due to ecnomic issuses because back then indentured servants were paid for their work .There was a time frame were they served their master for a certain period of time after that time was up they were free. So paying the Indentured servants became an issuse it really cut through their budgets.

Another reason was that indentured servants thought they were being treated unfairly and many ran away. Some of these unfair treatment was no pay, being whipped or no rest inbetween there work.

And finally there was evidence that there was an increase in the Blacks population. So the Whites used this to there advantage. They figured they could use teh black without have to pay them or any of the thing the indentured slaves wanted. They saw black as their property or simply as an item with no say,rights or choice in any matter.

The first set of Africans arrived in Virginia they came around 1619 and were sold in exchange for food and supplies.
