The Headright System
The "headright" system was developed as an attempt to get more colonists to move to the newly established English colonies in the Chesapeake area. It guaranteed any colonist who paid their way to the colonies 50 acres of land. This offer was also good for anybody who payed for another person to go to the colonies. The "headright" system was appealing to many "common folk", as they were known, because it promised them land and usually it was more land than they had in England.

The Headright system began in the US state of Virginia. The Headright system tried to solve the labor shortage problem. It was also a way to attract new colonists. Immigrant colonists were given one headright and could receive one more for each passage they paid for an additional immigrant. The Headright system also led to too much distribution of land, increasing the tension between the Native Americans and the colonists. It also let to the increase of indentured servitude and slavery.
