If you were a poor English man or woman would you be willing to pledge years of your life to indentured servitude in order to secure passage to the New World? Why or why not? (don’t answer too quickly, think about the question awhile) Vocabulary: Indentured servant: labor system whereby young people paid for their passage to the New World by working for an employer for a certain number of years.

Enclosure movement: drives poor farmers off their land ( Landlords on English countryside farms enclosing their land for sheep grazing, forcing small farmers onto even smaller farms on out of a farm altogether)

5. Joint-stock company – Forerunner of the modern corporation – Investors pooled their capital ($), lessen their risk

b. Social 1.Inequality between nobility and commoners 2. Inheritance laws – landed estates go to eldest sons (primogeniture) This meant that younger sons were forced to seek their fortunes elsewhere.

c. Adventure d. Religious freedom: escape persecution
