Indentured servants were typically poor individuals who exchanged their labor for passage to the Americas and other benefits in the 17th and 18th centuries. They were not slaves, but their contracts limited their freedom and often lasted for several years. Indentured servitude was a common practice in the early colonies of America and was a way for people to start a new life in exchange for their work.
