Indentured servants come to the New World because they want to create a better life and not live in the same circumstances in England. Slaves came to the new world forcefully, because of the Atlantic Slave Trade.
During the colonial period in America, most emigrants could not afford the cost of hiring a ship for transport, and of supplying the necessary tools and provisions for colonists. So many of the people interested in becoming settlers had to indenture themselves, which meant agreeing to a period as a contract worker to repay the cost. In some cases there were disputes with the bondholder over living conditions, and how the workers might receive land of their own within a colony.

African slavery involved the lifelong enslavement of individuals based on race, with no opportunity for freedom or compensation. European indentured servitude, on the other hand, involved individuals voluntarily entering into a contract to work for a set period in exchange for passage to the New World or other benefits. Indentured servants could eventually gain freedom and sometimes land after fulfilling their contracts.
