Indentured servants came to America when it was being founded, people agreed to indentured servitude. This usually lasted for a period of 7 years, in exchange for paid passage to America.
No. You see indentured servants wanted to come to America, but did not have money to do so. So, a wealthy landowner of sorts would pay for this man to come to America. In return they would work for a certain number of years. And when they had paid of there debt, the landowner would grant them with land, tools, and money to get them started as American citizens.
Indentured servants lived in colonial America. If someone wanted to come to America but could'NT afford the ship ride over then they would find a weatly family to pay for their voyage over. Once they arrived the person would have to work for the amount of years that the sponserer wanted. If you were a child you worked until you were 21. Hope this helps!
