Indentured Servitude (Unit 2.6)
** Originating from Britain, indentured servitude involved North Americans forced into servitude in open prisons. Men were typically recruited after running afoul of the law, finding themselves bound into labor contracts.

Eventually, resistance and uprisings like Bacon’s Rebellion led to a decline in indentured servitude, prompting a transition to other labor sources.
