In Jamestown, much of the work in the fields and on the farms was done by indentured servants and later by enslaved Africans. Indentured servants were individuals who exchanged their labor for passage to the New World and eventual freedom, while enslaved Africans were forcibly brought to the colony and made to work under harsh conditions. These laborers played a crucial role in the agricultural economy of Jamestown, cultivating crops such as tobacco that were essential to the colony's survival and growth.
