What land was distributed in the head right system?

The headright system primarily distributed land in the American colonies, particularly in Virginia and Maryland, during the 17th century. Under this system, settlers received grants of land, typically 50 acres, for each person they brought to the colonies, including themselves and indentured servants. This incentivized migration and helped establish agricultural economies in the colonies. The system contributed to the expansion of plantation culture and the demand for labor, including enslaved individuals.
