To attract new settlers to the region and address the labor shortage, is the right answer.
Explanation:
The grant of land (50 acres) to the immigrants in the thirteen colonies of Britain in the United States, is known as the Headright System. Virginia, North Carolina, Maryland, South Carolina and Georgia were some of the colonies in which this system was introduced. Created in the year 1618 in Jamestown, this system was a method of attracting settlers to the colonies and address the labor shortage.
The unprecedented levels of production in domestic manufacturing and commercial agriculture during this period greatly strengthened the American economy and reduce dependence on imports. The Industrial Revolution resulted in greater wealth and a larger population in Europe as well as in the United States.
