In this example, Davidson and Lytle want us to understand why it would have been appealing for a planter to buy slaves. They invite us to think in the same way a planter might. To do so, they compare a servant and a slave. An indentured servant would have provided cheap labor for the planter. Moreover, he would have required the same things a servant would, such as clothes, food and housing. However, after a certain period of time, the servant would have been able to leave the planter. On the other hand, a slave would have required the same initial "investment," but would have never been able to leave his job. Therefore, from the point of view of the planter, a slave would have made more economic sense.

The slaves were a better choice because instead of the indentured servants who would have to be let free and then pose competition the slaves would work for life and were worth the larger fee up front because of the guarantee of labor for their entire life.

Desiderius Erasmus said in a letter to Sir Henry Guildford in 1519:
kolbaska11 [484]

The Renaissance was a cultural movement that was born in Florence, Italy, and aimed at transforming the dogmatic thinking of the time through the ideas of humanism. This means seeing the world in different ways using art, philosophy, science and politics to create a new vision of man and his role in the world. The deep sleep to which Erasmus refers is the backwardness that was lived at the time in the sixteenth century that was due to the obscurantism in which dogmatic and rigid ideas predominated, for which the rebirth was the awakening of society in which knowledge becomes the fundamental pillar and no longer religion. In this way the theocentrism is abandoned and this allowed for example the discovery of new lands that would later be colonized, discoveries are made in astrology and revolutionary ideas arise as those of Copernico and his heliocentric theory.
