Indentured Servants. I was not aware that land was often part of the deal, though. More like they were paying off their fare, then discovering that they had to pay off the overinflated prices charged for their room and board while working off the debt, then having to pay off the room and board for while they worked that off...etc.

If you wondered about the rapidity of people going west, you may be assured that white runaways made up a good percent of those early "pioneers".
