RESULT= needed more laborers - lucritive
Headright system- anyone who paid for another person to come to VA would be given 50 acres of land
Headright system leads to Indentured Servitude---owners of land would import laborers to come to new world in exchange for 4-7 years of service—laborers were usually from lower income families
Indentured servitude would result in slavery

3. Headright System leads to Slavery
