Practice essay question: You are a tobacco plantation owner with a huge portion of land that must be worked. You know that you must have more labor in order to harvest the tobacco, but you can't afford to hire men to work the field. Even if you had the money to hire them, there simply aren't enough men in the area who are willing to work for the wages you would be able to pay. Finally you reach a fork in the road: either you hire indentured servants to work for seven years or you purchase slaves, who will be yours for life. Explain any dilemmas you would face when making your decision, be they economic, moral, or ethical. Refer to any relevant laws or current events to support your decisions.
