Immigrants who settled in the Chesapeake area during the 17th and 18th centuries were primarily English, seeking economic opportunities and land. Many were indentured servants, bound to work for a period in exchange for passage and eventual freedom. The region's tobacco economy attracted newcomers, leading to a diverse population including both free and enslaved individuals. The harsh conditions and reliance on labor shaped a society characterized by social stratification and a plantation-based economy.
