Question

How did the Chesapeake colonists solve their labor problems?

Answer 1

They encouraged colonization by offering headrights to anyone who could pay his own way to Virginia: 50 acres for each passage.

They also used the system of indenture, in which people who did not have money, could pay their passed with a certain number of years of work and with it gain their own land.

At the end, they also turned to African slaves.
