Question

How were the experiences of indentured servants and slaves in the chesapeake and the caribbean similar?

Answer 1

I think they are slaves and indentured slaves in Chesapeake and Carribean experienced similar situations. Chesapeake Farmers and local owners in the Carribean would often buy slaves from Africa. They would also hire indentured slaves. The only differences would between the two types of slaves is that the indentured slaves can get their freedom after they have accomplished all that is being tasked by their masters. While the African slaves are treated really badly by their owners. They are fed less and that they are forced to work in the fields for longer hours
