Why did slavery become a necessary evil of colonial economics?
Not all historians would agree that slavery was a "necessary" evil. In colonial America, slavery was a cheaper option was to running plantations than hiring laborers. Slaves weren't usually (if ever) paid for work, they often lived in broken-down buildings, their food was not high-quality.... etc. So I guess the shortest answer to this question would be: slavery was probably the cheapest and easiest way to run a plantation or farm.
