What person contracted to work for a master?
Here is one example of contracting to work for a master. Very often in the early days of colonialism in the 13 British colonies, persons would agree to work as indentured servants to either get to the New World, or if already there, to become such a servant for a specified number of years. Quite often this was also a method for the servant to gain knowledge about a trade or craft. One could be a servant in a blacksmith shop and learn this craft for room & board, no pay. At the end of the designated amount of time the indentured servant would become a free man and very likely either work for pay in the craft or if lucky be able to open their own place of business.
