I think it started in the 16th or 17th century, but I definitely know that I learned in class that indentured servitude is when you offer yourself as a slave, mainly to the king or queen if you lived during the time the"new world" was discovered.

What are the pros and cons of indentured servitude for the employer
Indentured servants were cheaper to employers compared to slaves.
Many people became indentured servants because they were promised land, passage to a new country, and the opportunity for a better life. Economic hardship, lack of opportunities, and the hope for a fresh start in a new place were strong motivators for individuals to accept indentured servitude.

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.
