Book Synopsis Indentured Migration and the Servant Trade from London to America, 1618-1718 by : John Wareing
Book excerpt: The first full examination of the English trade in indentured servants, who paid for their transportation and keep, and continued to work unpaid for years on their arrival. Often these people were deceived and coerced, despite half-hearted government efforts to curtail the activities of what was, after all, a useful crime for the English state.
