Indentured servitude
indentured servants, they had to work for 7 years or so.
Indentured servitude and slavery differed primarily in terms of duration, consent, and legal status. Indentured servitude was typically a temporary arrangement, where individuals agreed to work for a set number of years in exchange for passage to America, while slavery was a permanent, lifelong condition marked by the complete ownership of individuals. Additionally, indentured servants often had some legal rights and could eventually gain freedom, whereas enslaved people were considered property with no rights. These differences shaped American society by creating a labor system that initially relied on voluntary contracts but evolved into a racially-based system of chattel slavery, fundamentally affecting social hierarchies and economic structures.
Indentured servitude was outlawed in the United States with the passage of the Thirteenth Amendment to the Constitution in 1865, which abolished slavery and involuntary servitude.

all of the colonies had indentured servitude and i think people still do it
Indentured servitude declined mainly due to factors such as the emergence of wage labor, changes in laws and regulations, and the shift towards chattel slavery in the Americas. As the demand for labor changed and it became easier to rely on other forms of labor, such as enslaved people, the practice of indentured servitude became less common. Additionally, criticism of the exploitative nature of indentured servitude and efforts to abolish the practice also contributed to its decline.
Common punishments for breaking the rules of indentured servitude included extension of the servitude term, physical punishment such as whipping, fines, or in severe cases, imprisonment.
