Cottage Plantation did not keep slaves. It was a free labor farm.
Plantation owners had free time because they had slaves performing labor on the plantations, allowing them to delegate tasks and focus on other aspects of managing the estate. Additionally, plantation owners often had access to wealth and resources that enabled them to pursue leisure activities and social engagements.
Plantation owners often justified owning slaves by claiming it was part of their way of life or culture. They also argued that slaves were needed for the economic success of their plantations and that they were providing a form of care and protection for slaves who would otherwise not survive on their own.
Plantation owners preferred slaves over indentured servants because slaves were considered property, providing a long-term source of labor with no freedom or rights. Slaves could be inherited and their children born into slavery, ensuring a continuous workforce. In contrast, indentured servants had limited terms of service and some legal protections, making them less profitable and reliable for plantation owners.
Plantation owners thought they needed slaves to maximize profit by exploiting free labor in agriculture. Slavery allowed them to maintain low production costs and increase their economic gains. Additionally, the plantation system relied on slave labor to sustain large-scale agricultural operations.
