Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Indentured servants were the primary source of labor in the early stages of tobacco production in the Chesapeake region. Many Europeans, particularly the English, agreed to work for a set number of years in exchange for passage to America, after which they would gain their freedom and sometimes land. This system was prevalent before the widespread use of African slave labor.
