An indentured servant brought to Jamestown and other colonies was given freedom once they completed the amount of years on their contract.

An indentured servant was an individual who had their trip to the New World paid for by a farm owner. As a way to pay the farm owner back, the servant would work on the land of the farm owner for anywhere between 4 and 7 years. After the servant completed their time working for the farm owner, they were then free. Usually, these servants were given a small piece of land to start their own farm on after they were finished with their contract.

Answer: The servant worked for the full length of their contract.

Explanation:

Indentured servants were people who had signed a contract by which they accepted to work for a specified amount of years in trade for transportation to Virginia, as well as food, clothing, and shelter when they arrived.

The system of indentured servitude was developed by the Virginia Company

to allure workers that would become essential to the colonial economy.

<h2>Answer: The Reconstruction </h2>

The Reconstruction was a period that came immediately after the end of the civil war in the United States, where the 11 southern confederate states tried to separate themselves from the rest of the country because of ideological differences, but mainly because of the slavery issue. Since the Southern states wanted to maintain the slavery system, while in the Northern states there were already free African-Americans.

This war broke out during the presidency of Abraham Lincoln and lasted four years (1861-1865), leaving thousands of dead on both sides and the southern territories (including crops and architecture) destroyed.

After the end of the war a period of tension was maintained, however Abraham Lincoln devised a plan to rebuild the southern states and reform the laws to give freedom to the slaves.

Lincoln was assassinated and the new president Andrew Johnson, continued with his position to unite the north and the south. It should be noted that during this period, which lasted twelve years, those who were slaves were given freedom and they were given <u>civil rights</u>, including the <u>right to vote</u>.
