EXCEPT:
1.English colonists found it distasteful to place fellow white people in servitude and so abandoned the practice of white servitude as quickly as possible.
2.tobacco was a labor intensive crop that required a massive amount of agricultural workers
3.the temporary nature of white indentured servitude was problamatic because eventually servitude was became free
4.escaped African slaves could be more easily identified than escaped white servants.
