By the 17th century, Virginia's tobacco plantations were prospering, yet attracting laborers became increasingly difficult due to the colony's poor reputation, scarce food, rampant diseases, and ongoing conflicts with Native Americans. Potential settlers from England were reluctant to move. In response, plantation owners offered to pay for a worker's passage to America in exchange for five to seven years of labor, known as indentured servitude, which was the primary means of populating the colonies. This system rewarded workers with their passage upfront but required them to repay the debt through labor. Indentured servants could be bought or sold, needed permission from their owners to marry, and faced harsh treatment. However, if they completed their term, they could gain their freedom and receive "freedom dues."
