Indentured servitude was a form of debt bondage for the journey to the New World in the 18th century, the American colonies. by being a servant (basically a slave) for somebody who couldafford to pay both individuals' passes to the United States. A majority of the servants were Anglican, not Puritan, and while religion did play a large role in everyday lives, the culture was more commercially based.
