The difference is that an Indenture servant has agreed to a term of service in turn for the cost of getting to America or other terms. At the end of the term agreement the Indenture servant will be once again free and no longer required to be a servant. They would be able to hold land, a job and vote. Whereas a Slave will always be not free. Slaves are consider property and can not hold land and vote.
Prior to the Civil War, slaves and indentured servants were considered personal property and could be sold (or left as property in a will). While the indenture usually lasted four-six years, if the indentured person did not abide by their Master's rules, their indenture could be extended.
They were not the same. Indentured servants were to serve 7 years, but often they left before they finished their time. They could blend in so it made it hard to find them, but any person who was black was a slave and needed a pass to leave the plantation. Indentured servants were paid and free after 7 years. Slaves were never paid and were considered property.
Slaves are people who are the property of an owner, they are bought and sold as a commodity. They do the work assigned by their owners without pay until they die, are sold to another owner or are freed by their owner.
Indentured servants are people who have traded their unpaid servitude for a specific period of time for some type of consideration, usually money or transport to the place where they will be working and housed. If the contract is legitimate, there is a point in time that the indentured servant will be free of the duty.
