Answer:

Plantation owners needed large amounts of manual labor to grow tobacco, rice, and indigo.

They had their passage paid for to America from their origin countries.

Landowners were rewarded with additional land for bringing more laborers to work their land. This enabled them to plant more crops, which made colonial leaders more money.

You were promised room and board while you worked for your master. You were given passage to the New World and promised land when your period of service was over.

Life was very hard. Only about 40 percent of servants lived to the end of their contract. Female servants were often mistreated and punished for pregnancy. Travel to the New World was hard and dangerous.

Early servants were able to get land but as the century progressed, most of the good land was taken by plantation owners. Freed servants were left to settle farther west in the mountains and unsettled territory.

After Bacon’s Rebellions, planters were less inclined to hire indentured servants and instead began hiring slaves.

How can the influence of serfdom in the mid-1600s be described?
Harlamova29_29 [7]

Answer:

serfdom, condition in medieval Europe in which a tenant farmer was bound to a hereditary plot of land and to the will of his landlord. The vast majority of serfs in medieval Europe obtained their subsistence by cultivating a plot of land that was owned by a lord. This was the essential feature differentiating serfs from slaves, who were bought and sold without reference to a plot of land. The serf provided his own food and clothing from his own productive efforts. A substantial proportion of the grain the serf grew on his holding had to be given to his lord. The lord could also compel the serf to cultivate that portion of the lord’s land that was not held by other tenants (called demesne land). The serf also had to use his lord’s grain mills and no others.
