Explain how and why tobacco planters in the chesapeake region came to rely on african slaves rather than european indentured servants over the course of the seventeenth century. at what point did the chesapeake become a "slave society" rather than merely a "society with slaves"?

During the early years of the colonies, most work was performed by new settlers, as well as European indentured servants. These servants would come for a number of years and work with no pay in exchange for passage, board, food and other basic necessities. At the end of their contract, they were free and able to make a living on their own. This system, however, proved to be insufficient as plantations developed. Tobacco became an extremely succesful cash crop, and this meant that more labor was needed. The colonists turned to African slaves to satisfy this need for workers.

The Chesapeake became a "slave society" rather than a "society with slaves" when slaves became the main laborers in the region. Moreover, this change occured when plantations were no longer sustained in any other way aside from slave labor.

this forms a narrow, steep sided inlet (sometimes deeper than 1300 metres) connected to the sea. the terminal moraine pushed down the valley by the glacier is left underwater at the fjord’s entrance, causing the water at the neck of the fjord to be shallower than the main body of the fjord behind it.

its main object was the establishment of "settlement houses" in poor urban areas, in which volunteer middle-class "settlement workers" would live, hoping to share knowledge and culture with, and alleviate the poverty of, their low-income neighbors.
