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.

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

Lyrx [107]

Answer:

To exercise freedom of their Christian faith.

Explanation:
