It describes indentured servants who worked for 4–7 years to repay passage costs, receiving “freedom dues” afterward, and notes that many eventually gained land and social standing. It contrasts this semi-bondage system with African slavery, beginning with 1619 Virginia arrivals and hardening into lifelong involuntary servitude as plantation labor demand grew.

William Penn, for example, publicized the opportunities awaiting newcomers to the Pennsylvania colony. Judges and prison authorities offered convicts a chance to migrate to colonies like Georgia instead of serving prison sentences.  \nBut few colonists could finance the cost of passage for themselves and their families to make a start in the new land. In some cases, ships' captains received large rewards from the sale of service contracts for poor migrants, called indentured servants, and every method from extravagant promises to actual kidnapping was used to take on as many passengers as their vessels could hold.  \nIn other cases, the expenses of transportation and maintenance were paid by colonizing agencies like the Virginia or Massachusetts Bay Companies. In return, indentured servants agreed to work for the agencies as contract laborers, usually for four to seven years. Free at the end of this  \nterm, they would be given \"freedom dues,\"sometimes including a small tract of land.  \nPerhaps half the settlers living in the colonies south of New England came to America under this system. Although most of them fulfilled their obligations faithfully, some ran away from their employers. Nevertheless, many of them were eventually able to secure land and set up homesteads, either in the colonies in which they had originally settled or in neighboring ones. No social stigma was attached to a family that had its beginning in America under this semi-bondage. Every colony had its share of leaders who were former indentured servants.  \nThere was one very important exception to this pattern: African slaves. The first black Africans were brought to Virginia in 1619, just 12 years after the founding of Jamestown. Initially, many were regarded as indentured servants who could earn their freedom. By the 1660s, however, as the demand for plantation labor in the Southern colonies grew, the institution of slavery began to harden around them, and Africans were brought to America in shackles fora lifetime of involuntary servitude.  \nAnswer the following questions based on the reading and your knowledge of social studies.  \n1.   had to work off the cost of their passage to the colonies before they were free.  \na.
