Indentured servants were cheaper to employers compared to slaves.
What are the pros and cons of indentured servitude for the employer
Indentured servants signed a contract for 7 years so employers got their labor for that time for free.
Indentured servitude benefited the individuals in several ways, such as providing an opportunity for passage to the colonies, a chance to learn new skills or trades, and potential for eventual freedom after completing their term of service. It also benefited the colonies and employers by providing cheap labor to support economic growth and development.
Indentured servitude was outlawed in the United States with the passage of the Thirteenth Amendment to the Constitution in 1865, which abolished slavery and involuntary servitude.
