The Headright system was a land distribution method used in the American colonies, particularly in Virginia, where settlers received parcels of land for each person they brought to the colony, including indentured servants. Over time, as the demand for labor increased and the supply of willing indentured servants decreased, planters turned to black slavery for a more permanent and controlled labor force. Slavery became more economically advantageous due to its perpetual nature, while indentured servitude was temporary and often involved the risk of rebellion or leaving once contracts expired. This shift marked a significant transition in the labor system in the colonies.
