The headright system primarily benefited wealthy landowners and settlers in colonial Virginia and later in other Southern colonies. Eligible individuals received land grants, typically 50 acres, for each person they sponsored to migrate to the colonies, including themselves, family members, or indentured servants. This system incentivized the settlement of land and helped establish plantations, as those who could afford to bring more people over gained significant land holdings.
