When indentured servants were transported to the American colonies,
they came by choice.
they had no legal rights.
they could not own property.
their term of service never ended.

Respuesta :

they could not own property

When indentured servants came to the American colonies, they could not own property.

In order to address the labor shortage of the American colonies, some people would pay to transport a person from Europe to America where they would then feed and take care of the person in exchange for the person working for them till they clear off the debt incurred to bring them.

These were indentured servants and they:

  • came of their won free will
  • had legal rights because they were servants not enslaved people, and
  • their term of service would eventually end when they worked off their debt

Indentured servants could not own property however as they were still under the master who brought them to the colonies.

We can therefore conclusively say that indentured servants could not own property.
