Why did plantation owners prefer white servants and African slaves to American Indian workers?
African slaves proved to be extremely hardy in harsh working conditions in tobacco and cotton fields.
African slaves had a harder time escaping than whites or native Americans. Africans were easily identified by skin color. Native Americans could generally get protection at any Indian village or reservation, often including those of competing tribes. Native Americans also were shown not to thrive in slavery conditions -- Spanish missionaries in California, for example, enslaved the natives and found that the majority wasted away and died in captivity. Whites needed only to escape to a town a few miles distant and begin to use a new name in order to get away from slavery or indentured servitude.
