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.
The Articles of Confederation became the first "law of the land" for the United States in 1781, 4 years after it was created. However, it was not very effective. In 1787 plans were made to revise it, but politicians decided to do away with the Articles, creating the US Constitution, instead.
