The correct answer is B; They had few rights under their contract.

Further Explanation:

Numerous wealthy families had indentured servants in Jamestown. The people who were indentured servants all choose so willingly. Some of the reasons for becoming an indentured servant were;

  • they came to America free
  • free room and board
  • lodging and freedom dues paid for the workers
  • after their service was over they had a freedom package

The freedom packages included many incentives such as;

  • free land, sometimes, up to 25 acres
  • free corn for a year
  • new clothing
  • animals, such as cows or pigs
  • arms/guns

The indentured servants usually worked for an average of 7 years depending on the contract they signed. They were not slaves and were there of their own free will. They did get punished, many times harshly if a rule was broken. The contract could be made longer if a rule was broken, such as the pregnancy of a female servant. Indentured servants were both white and African American. The African Americans had the same contracts as the whites and were treated equally until slavery began and they lost their rights.

How did fort st. Louis affect the future history of exploration and settlement in texas?.
olchik [2.2K]

Fort st. Louis affect the future history of exploration and settlement in texas and challenged the Spanish empire by granting France a claim to Texas.

Fort St. Louis is presently located were La Salle's settlement formerly stood. The settlement, which was built about 40 miles inland from the French expedition's Texas coast landing place, was only meant to serve as a temporary outpost for the colonists while La Salle carried on his hunt for the mouth of the Mississippi River.

The twenty colonists at Fort St. Louis who remained lived until the Karankawa raid in late 1688 or early 1689, when all save a few children they kidnapped were slain. A Spanish expedition discovered three of the French inhabitants' remains and a fort in ruins when they arrived in April 1689. Spanish explorers realized that the French might annex Texas unless they constructed more settlements there themselves after learning about the French attempt to take root there.
