Colt1911 [192]3 years ago

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.
