B. Landowners in America would pay the way for an Indentured Servant. C. In exchange for passage to the New World, Indentured Servants would work for the land owner for a period of time

D. When an Indentured Servant had served his or her contract, he or she would be given a pair of clothes and some food and allowed to go and make a life for themselves in the New World. They were then called freemen.
