Indentured Servants in the USA

Indentured servants arrived in America in 1607 after settlement of Virginia Company in Jamestown. Life for an indentured servant was harsh and restrictive ,it was not slavery. Time came when indentured Servants received their freedom package.

What happened to indentured servants after they were freed?

Many historians argue that the life of indentured servants became much better than those of new immigrants. After they were freed their contract may have included 25 acres of land, a year`s worth of corns, arms, a cow and new cloths.

Some servants rose to become part of the colonial elite. For majority of the servants the distressing journey by the sea and the harsh conditions of life in the New World satisfaction as a freeman in a burgeoning colonial economy.

Effect of the Freed Indentured Servants on the Century.

The freeing of indentured servants affected the economy negatively. Them being freed brought about limited labor and also the freed servants demanded for land. Due to this landowners turned to African slaves as a more profitable source of labor.

frozen [14]

Supporting the nomination of William Jennings Bryan as a democrat was both a positive and negative development for the People’s Party.

<u>Explanation:</u>

People’s party was found by the leaders of the Populist Movement which worked to safeguard the rights of farmers.  It was formed in 1891 and in the presidential elections of 1892 its candidate James B Weaver got 8.5% votes. This attracted political attention towards the people’s party.

Democrats were impressed by the ideals and support gained by the People’s party they succeeded in gaining the support of People’s party in 1896 presidential elections when William Jennings Bryan was the Democrat candidate. Getting folded up to the Democratic Party increased the political exposure of People’s party.

The fusion wasn’t a healthy decision considering the scenario in the south. Approaches of Democrats were completely racist which meant there was a conflict between ideologies between the two parties. The influence of People’s Party was over by 1908.
