Answer:

southern plantation owners needed more labor at lower costs.

Explanation:

Eventually, there was too much indentured servants to provide for. Plantation owners had to buy slaves so they didn't lose as much money and land. Slaves didn't get land, money, or freedom. While indentured servants were freed after their 4-7 years of working. Sometimes, some people were born into slavery.
