What is the difference between servants and indentured or enslaved people?
A servant is paid for his or her work and can quit at any time. An endentured servant has a contract calling for him or her to provide service for a specified number of years and cannot leave until that time is passed. The contract, or indenture, may provide for some forms of payment to be made, or merely for room and board to be provided if the indenture was agreed to in exchange for something substantial such as transportation to the "New World." The children of an indentured servant are not bound by the terms of the contract. An enslaved person, a slave, is property and must work for the owner, just like a horse or other animal property. The slave can never leave and the children of a slave is also slaves just as the foal of a horse you own is also your horse.

Who was the more reliable worker indentured servants or slaves?
In the era of forced labor, slaves were considered by owners to be more reliable than indentured servants. This is because the owners saw how indentured servants were more likely to rebel and resist due to their superior educational background and exposure to outside society when compared to slaves. Additionally, indentured servants were knowledgeable about the eventual termination of their forced service via a contract that bound them to the owner. They knew they could, at some point or another, look forward to freedom after working off their debts. Slaves on the other hand were bound for life to their masters, and therefore, had no promises of freedom to look forward to. Though more expensive, owners found that slaves were far more obedient than indentured servants were. Lastly, masters soon found that they could also "breed" new slaves to add to their workforce, whereas they could not force indentured servants to do the same.
