It promised indentured servants "freedom dues" and sometimes a plot of land.
Sir Edwin Sandys aimed to promote the settlement and economic viability of the Jamestown colony through the headright system and indentured servitude. The headright system incentivized land ownership by granting settlers land for each person they brought to the colony, encouraging migration. Indentured servitude provided a labor force to cultivate tobacco and other cash crops, fostering economic growth. Together, these strategies were intended to attract more settlers and secure the colony's success.
