The Headright System! Indentured Servitude
They are called indentured servants. People in England in the early times of America asked wealthy people to provide money for their passage. In return, the people would work for the wealthy person, with no pay, for a set upon amount of years, generally from 5 to 7. When the indentured servants were freed, they were given some food and a small parcel of land to start their own farms.
The first slave arrived in the colonies in 1619 and was brought to work. As the colonies grew more slaves were needed to do the work.
