"Indentured Servants, Apprentices, and Transported Children" - Three-quarters of immigrants who settled south of New England during the 1600s-1700s came an indentured servants, convict labor, or redemptioners. Reeling from plague, political unrest, religious persecution, and unfair business practices, a highly structured, though often illicit system grew. Thousands were sent to the colonies under restrictive contracts with the promise of "freedom's dues" in the end.
