The largest group of backcountry settlers wre indentured servants, since they willingly sold a good portion of their life to cross the Atlantic. They offerer a good exuse for their employers to obtain land. Their employers accomplished this thanks to the headright system for every indentured servant they received a headright which would be 50 acres.
