It is not just a matter of survival, but being able to perform hard physical labour when carrying a high load of malarial parasites. Europeans in areas of high malarial load just could not sustain the workload that west africans could. Lots of slave owners died of Malaria (particularly their children). This is why the indentured servants were shipped to the North and the West African’s to the South. Western African slave labour was not able to compete against the lower cost indentured European workers in the North. |
