What are the pros and cons of indentured servitude for the employer
Indentured servants were cheaper to employers compared to slaves.
An indentured servant in Jamestown and other colonies was given freedom once they completed their contracted term of servitude, which typically lasted between 4 to 7 years. Upon gaining their freedom, some indentured servants were granted a plot of land and other resources to help them establish themselves in the colony.
The labor system that emerged as a result of the successful cultivation of tobacco in Jamestown was primarily indentured servitude. To meet the labor demands of tobacco farming, planters relied on indentured servants—individuals who agreed to work for a set number of years in exchange for passage to America and the promise of land or freedom afterwards. This system later laid the groundwork for the transition to African slavery as the demand for labor increased and indentured servitude became less viable.
