What is a significant difference between an indentured servant and a slave?

1 answer:

3 0

Slaves worked for a person without anything in return and there was no time limit to their work. Slaves were sold like property.

Indentured servants signed contracts agreeing to work for a period of time (usually under 10 years) in exchange for something like their passage, shelter or even food.

There were a few laws protecting the rights of indentured servants. No laws to protect slaves' rights.

Hope this helps! :)

What were a few disadvantages of the domestic system

olchik [2.2K]

The demand for wool increased in Britain in the early 1700s, which led to the development of the domestic system. In this labor system, the need for workers was met by families who produced goods in their own homes. This was helpful to workers in some ways, but did have disadvantages Work done in this way was very time consuming and tedious. Children were used as workers to help their families, and typically were only educated in skills needed to add to the family income. Finally, a worker's connection to their individual village often were severed, as they became part of a larger production process. (Image: Courtesy of historylearningsite.co.uk)
