Shift in Colonial Labor Systems

B
Indentured servitude was the primary labor system in all colonies, rendering the use of enslaved labor largely irrelevant.
C
Native American labor was favored due to their extensive agricultural knowledge and ease of integration into European economic systems.
D
Economic considerations were secondary to moral concerns, which is why European colonists resisted using any form of coerced labor systems.
