Inspired directly from the Slavery thread (https://www.alternatehistory.com/discussion/showthread.php?t=149646) and hopefully an extension thereof.

The point of this discussion is wether the West could have any possible alternatives in the New World as opposed to chattel slavery. Were there any other ways Europe could have made a profit in the carribean?

Now say Christians decide to mostly forgo chattel slavery. Would some form of bastard serfdom with Africans (and others, debtors, criminals, etc) have worked instead?
