The first indentured servants arrived in North Carolina in the mid-17th century, around the 1650s. These laborers were brought to work on tobacco and other cash crop plantations, providing a vital labor source for the growing colony. Indentured servitude was a common practice at the time, allowing individuals to pay for their passage to the New World through several years of labor. This system laid the groundwork for later labor practices, including slavery, as the demand for labor continued to rise.
