Answer:

Indentured servitude refers to a contract between two individuals, in which one person worked not for money but in exchange for the price of passage to America.

Explanation:

Indentured servitude—popular in the United States in the 1600s—was essentially a kind of barter system.

Answer:1600s

*Poor workers, convicted criminals, and debtors received immigration passage and fees in return for a number of years at labor on behalf of a planter or company

*Servants entered into their contracts voluntarily and kept some legal rights

*However, servants had little control over the conditions of their work and living arrangements, and the system led to harsh and brutal treatment

*It remained the predominant system of labor until the 1670s; Bacon's Rebellion made the practice seem more risky to planters and owners, and improving economic conditions in England decreased the supply of servants

*Many owners relied on slave labor instead

It only appeared to be so. The roaring twenties was soon followed by the Great Depression, I believe, and lots of people suffered during that time.

Which geographic feature helped isolate Japan?
Scrat [10]
The answer is of course B - water.

Japan is consisted out of four big islands (Honshu, Hokkaido, Shikoku, and Kyushu). While each of them also has their own small characteristics, separate from each other, Japan has in general been isolated due to its specific geographical environment. Not being connected to any landmass such as neighbouring China, the only contact they could have had was by boat. And travelling by boat has always been more difficult compared to packing your stuff and going somewhere.
