Question

What happened in the South when the number of Indentured servants dropped?

Answer 1

Slavery

Explanation:

The decrease in indentured servants led to a decreased work force. The need for more laborers increased the demand for slaves, who provided cheap labor and who, unlike indentured servants, could be essentially worked to death because they were viewed as owned property instead of an equal human being. This strengthened the Atlantic Slave Trade and the moral evil of slavery.
