it was hard work for them and they were always doing what someone else wanted them to do.
indentured servents were not like your normal African American slaves in colonial time. they agreed to work as a slave/servent for somone so that the person they worked for would pay for somthing (in this time usully the ship over to America) the slaves/servents would work until they payed (in work) off their amount of debt.
as the colonies grew though the institution of indentured servents became corrupt. the masters started changing the rules on when the servents were allowed to leave this did eventually, along with many other factors, lead to slaves being veiwed as lifelong property
all of the colonies had indentured servitude and i think people still do it
