RossPlantation owners preferred slaves over indentured servants because slaves provided a lifetime of unpaid labor, while indentured servants only served for a limited time. Slaves were also seen as property that could be inherited and sold, providing long-term economic benefits to plantation owners. Additionally, slaves were seen as a more controllable and permanent labor force compared to indentured servants, who had the possibility of earning their freedom.
Slaves were property and were not free to leave the plantation, but an indentured servant was a free white person who signed a 7 year contract. Indentured servitude often was not completed and since they were white they could fade into the population while any African American was a slave no matter where he/she was. They needed permission to leave the plantation.
