Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Indentured servants were people who agreed to work for a term in exchange for their passage to America. They were often young men and women from Europe who signed a contract with a European master and were bound to work for a set number of years, usually five to seven, in the colonies. After completing their term, they were free to leave and start their own lives.
