Deborah Sampson was an indentured servant primarily due to her family's financial struggles after her father's abandonment and her mother's inability to support the family. At the age of 18, she was bound by indenture to a farmer in Massachusetts, where she worked for several years to pay off her family's debts. This arrangement was common in the 18th century, as many young people sought opportunities for stability and independence through indentured servitude. Ultimately, her experience as an indentured servant shaped her resilience and determination, which she later demonstrated when she disguised herself as a man to serve in the Revolutionary War.
