Fewer indentured servants were brought to America in the 1700s due to several factors, including the decline in the availability of willing laborers in England and the rising demand for more permanent labor sources, particularly enslaved Africans. Economic changes, such as improved conditions in England and the transition to a more profitable slave-based economy in the colonies, shifted the focus away from indentured servitude. Additionally, the increasing costs and risks associated with transporting indentured servants made the practice less attractive for colonial planters.

Indentured servitude only lasted in the Colonial US until the early 1700s. If and indentured servant survived (most indentured servants were worked to death by their "owner") his term then his former "owner" must give him some land to settle on. These lands were located in the Colonial US, and the indentured servants were usually given poor farming land located further from the US East Seaboard.
Mostly, they were indentured servants. The native American population had been decimated by disease and mistreatment by Europeans; so there was a big demand for laborers in America. Extremely poor people in Europe couldn't make much of anything in wages in Europe, but if they signed on to be an indentured servant for 3-5 years, then they were given free passage to America. After completing their indentured servant obligation, they were free to do whatever they wanted.

The southern colonies between 1620 and the 1700s were primarily populated by English settlers, including wealthy planters, small farmers, and indentured servants. The economy was heavily reliant on agriculture, leading to the establishment of large plantations that produced cash crops like tobacco, rice, and indigo. Additionally, enslaved Africans were forcibly brought to the region to work on these plantations, resulting in a diverse but stratified society. The social structure was characterized by significant wealth disparities and a rigid class system.
According to historians, the major groups of immigrants that came to Britainâ??s American colonies in the 1700s included the Africans who made up 47% of the immigrant population followed by the Scottish and Scot-Irish. There was also a large number of Germans who migrated as well.
