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.

How did the Missouri Compromise spark or ignited sectionalism within the United States.
mote1985 [20]

Sectionalism was very much a part of the Missouri Compromise, with two main sections of the country -- North vs. South -- divided over the issue of slavery.

The Missouri Compromise (1820) admitted Missouri into the Union as a slave state with Maine being added at the same time as a free state, to keep the balance of slave and free states equal.  The Missouri Compromise also prohibited any future slave states north of the latitude line 36 1/2 degrees north of the equator in territories of the Louisiana Purchase, with the exception of Missouri (north of that line) being admitted as a slave state.

A couple decades later, that sectional debate was sparked still further by the acquisition of lands from Mexico after the Mexican-American War.  The Mexican Cession was the large region of land that Mexico ceded to the United States in the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo in 1848.  It included territory that would later become the states of California, Nevada, Utah, and parts of what would become Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado and Wyoming.  The Mexican Cession reignited tension on the issue of slave-holding states vs. free states.   Since the Missouri Compromise had specified only the Louisiana Purchase lands with its  36 1/2 degrees latitude dividing line, new debate arose over whether territories in the Mexican Cession territory would be slave or free states.

How is the principle of states' rights reflected in the Declaration of Independence or the Articles of Confederation?
padilas [110]

Hey there! I'm happy to help!

The Articles of Confederation gave tons of power to the states, even more than the federal government. This idea of states' rights is reflected in the Articles, but it was a bit too much, which is why the Articles were repealed.

Have a wonderful day! :D
