Do Now- Please Answer: Indentured Servant How is Indentured Servitude related to the Headright System?? New Netherland Quakers- What were their beliefs??

Emergence of Tobacco 1620-VA colony imported 1.5 million lbs of tobacco Served as currency RESULT= needed more laborers - lucritive Headright system- anyone who paid for another person to come to VA would be given 50 acres of land Headright system leads to Indentured Servitude---owners of land would import laborers to come to new world in exchange for 4-7 years of service—laborers were usually from lower income families Indentured servitude would result in slavery

Headright System leads to Slavery Headright Sys. must be wealthy to transport laborers to Americahired as indentured servants (poorer/lower class)costs less to own a slave than to have an indentured servant who can leave after 4-7 years of work=greater profit (so more ppl do it)
