The area in the colonial era that would be likely to have the greatest number of large landowners and indentured servants is the **Southern colonies**.
The Southern colonies, which included states such as Virginia, Maryland, and the Carolinas, had agricultural economies that relied heavily on large plantations growing cash crops like tobacco, rice, and indigo. This system often involved the use of indentured servants, and later enslaved Africans, to work the land. In contrast, the New England and Middle colonies had more diverse economies and smaller-scale farms, which typically did not require the same number of large landowners or indentured servants.
