The colonial system of indentured servitude was different from slavery

History

Answer:

Explanation:

A. indentured servitude was not based on race.

Indentured servitude was enormously common in colonial America. In the 17th century, nearly two thirds of British settlers were indentured servants while eighty percent of European immigrants to America were “redemptioners” (immigrants who needed to indenture themselves to pay for their immigration upon arrival to the colonies, rather than ones who worked out their contracts prior to departure). Most redemptioners came from Britain or Germany and were imported to Philadelphia. The majority were young, under twenty, and died before their contracts were up due to the rough conditions of travel and colonial life.

During the 18th century, indentured contracts became less necessary as the costs of immigration to America went down and African slave labor became increasingly attractive to the large landowners of the prospering colonies. During the Revolution, indentured “imports” basically ceased and the decline continued after the formation of the United States.

After the stock market crashed industrial nations responded by imposing what to protect themselves?
Alona [7]
<span>Following the stock market crash, many industrial nations responded by imposing high tariffs. A tariff is simply just a type of tax that is applied to imports and exports that are traded between two sovereign states. Sometimes the term tariff is occasionally used to describe any list of price, but that is fairly rare in the English language.</span>
