- The allowance for citizens to purchase more land and utilize slaves for labor during the royal period suggests measures that potentially contributed to keeping settlers content. This change in policy provided settlers with more opportunities for expansion and economic growth through land acquisition and the use of slave labor, which likely aimed to minimize conflicts and improve the satisfaction of the colonists.
