Explanation:
In order to survive in the economy and be successful, people had to work. That is why in 1618 they decided to give them incentives for the planters. These incentives consisted in giving them 50 acres of land for each of the representatives of the 13 colonies.
Its main beneficiaries were Virginia, Maryland, North and South Carolina, and Georgia. By obtaining this large amount of land, they had to find workers.
The workers were paid the trip to go to these lands, and they would have to work in them to pay the expenses of the trip.
This was of great benefit to the planters, since they were basically having servants working on their land.
