Indentured Servitude
• In exchange for a free trip, you work seven years for the person who pays your way– After seven years, you get your freedom– Fifty acres of your own land– You’re not treated like a slave– Nearly half of indentured servants died before
seven years
• Europe does not allow many opportunities for advancement or land ownership

The Headright System
• As a landowner, each indentured servant you sponsor gets you 50 acres of land
• Problem – The more land you had, the more power you had
• Problem – There are people who already have a claim to that land (Indians)
• Problem – If you are a farmer, you need cheaper labor to work it (slaves)

served
