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.
A landowner may prefer slaves over indentured servants because slaves were considered property for life, providing a long-term and potentially more cost-effective labor source compared to indentured servants who were only bound for a fixed period. Slaves were also seen as having less legal rights and were less likely to challenge their owners, giving landowners more control over their workforce.
