How were indentured servants different from slaves?

Answer 1

Indentured servants were freed after a set number of years.
The difference is the servant chose to work for someone.The slave is froced to work for someone
An indentured servant was a worker that was not paid a wage, but worked until his travelling debt was paid off. Unlike slaves, they were also fed and sheltered After it was paid off they would be set free and were often given a small part of land for them to live on. However with slaves, slave owners said "f*ck that sh*t" and worked their slaves until they were had nothing left in them. They were given the bare necessities and lived a sh*t life against their will.
The main difference between a slave and an indentured servant was that the servant would one day be a free citizen. Basically, the indentured servant was working off a debt. They were given room and board, and the wages they earned went to pay their debt. After a number of years, when the debt was fully paid, the individual was free to go. The slave, on the other hand, would never be free, except for the unlikely event that their owner decided to grant them freedom. Unlike the indentured servant, the slave was considered the property of the owner for life.

Answer 2

yes, indentured slaves were people who were willing to work for a person if they pay for their "voyage". This refers to when Europeans first began coming to America. Poor people couldn't pay their trip, so they became servants (for a certain number of years) to the person who could pay their voyage. Slaves were just bought and used for as many years as the owner wanted :(
