I want to know the answer to the following question:
Why did Chesapeake Bay colonists begin to buy slaves?
All the background I'm provided with is that "In the 17th century, faced with a continuing, critical labor shortage, colonists primarily in the Chesapeake Bay Colony, imported Africans as laborers, sometimes as indentured servants and, increasingly, as slaves.". Is that enough to answer the question?
Answer: yes
