Answer:

Settlers were given land and, in return, were expected to farm and build on it.

Explanation:

The Headright System was a land granting system designed to attract settlers to the colonies. A piece of land was offered “headlights” to settlers who would work on the land. The first to offer headlights was the Virginia Company and it was an interesting system because it allowed poor people to move to the new world and have their land when they did not have been able to afford it. Most of the headright lands would become tobacco farms with 50 acres.
