One group of servants who sold their labor for passage were indentured servants. These individuals would enter into a contract, typically lasting for a set number of years, in which they would work for a person or company in exchange for transportation to a new country. Once their contract period was completed, they would be free to establish their own lives and typically received some form of compensation or land.
