Abstract
The majority of colonists who immigrate to the Chesapeake in the 17th century pay for their passage by working as indentured servants for a specified number of years. Initially men outnumber women six to one, so willing are they to take the gamble that they can eventually win their freedom. It is a gamble many of them lost. Diseases like malaria claim over half of the settlers. John Smith's account in "Settlement of Jamestown" punctuates the suffering people endured.
