Analysis
The indentured servant system is a very brilliant and promising system that applied a reward to slaves. Since they thought once they finished their duty, they could look foward to a better future, they worked hard and were more compliant to work. However, most of them didn't survive to see their future, or it didn't turn out as they thought. Aside from this, the whole concept is very manipulative but in an innocent light. The promise is honest, but the possibility of their future is very slim. Plantation owners get all the help they need and benefit greatly from this. Their servants work for a number of years and get their freedom, allowing the owner all the help he needs at a convienent price and the slave gets liberation. While the owners win 100% of the time, the servants don't. The indentured servant system is creative and something that is still promised today. Work hard and retire happy. Both ideas never always work out, yet are still effective.
