There were two reasons why they turned to slavery. The first one is indentured servitude was a contract for 7 years and often people didn't finish out their contract once they arrived. This meant that they could fade into the population of colonists and no one would know they were indentured servants. While slaves were African American and anyone who was black was a slave no matter where they were. This is the second reason why slaves became popular because no matter where they were they could be picked out as a slave. To leave a plantation they had to have a pass, and slaves were property while indentured servants were workers.

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.
