The group that pledged multiple years of their lives as workers in exchange for passage to America were known as indentured servants. This system was prevalent in the 17th and 18th centuries, where individuals, often from England and other parts of Europe, signed contracts to work for a specified number of years, typically four to seven, in return for transportation, food, and shelter in the New World. Indentured servitude was a significant labor source for the colonies, particularly in agriculture and plantation economies.
