A) Property registers list white servants with the number of years they were to work, but blacks (with higher valuations) had no terms of service associated with their names.
B) Transcripts from legislative debates in the House of Burgesses show that Virginia lawmakers were debating whether permanent slave status was a good idea.
C) Records of declining tobacco prices show that it had become harder to keep labor, which would have forced planters to turn increasingly to Africans and away from white servants.
