Indentured Servitude / Colonial Period
• “white slaves”– Voluntary debt bondage to pay for passage– Granted land after 5-7 yrs.(if survived).– “headright” system benefitted masters– “freedom dues”: seeds, clothes, land– Chesapeake imported 100,000 by 1700– hardened lot: discipline, scarce land/freedom
dues; low wage hire-backs– But they were not slaves
