Abstract
The United States has been a magnet for immigrants throughout its history. In the colonial period, many who embarked on the journey found it necessary to indenture themselves just to pay for the passage. As we hear a first-hand account of the difficulties of the voyage, noted historians chronicle the life of an indentured servant after the harrowing transatlantic journey: the sale of their contract, length of servitude, as well as their options and contributions once free.
