Indentured servitude arose primarily due to labor shortages in the Americas, as European colonists sought a solution to cultivate cash crops like tobacco and sugar. The promise of land, freedom, and passage to the New World attracted many individuals to sign contracts for a fixed term of labor, often lasting several years. The effect of this system was the establishment of a labor force that significantly contributed to the economic growth of the colonies, but it also laid the groundwork for racialized slavery as indentured servitude became less viable over time. Ultimately, this shift contributed to the deeply entrenched social and economic inequalities that characterized American society.
