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 like Virginia, Maryland, Carolina, and Georgia, had large plantations that produced cash crops such as tobacco, rice, and indigo. This led to a greater demand for labor, which was often met by indentured servants and, later, enslaved Africans. In contrast, the other regions had smaller scale farming and less reliance on indentured servants.
