    The document provides a summary of the key differences between indentured servants and slaves in colonial America. Indentured servants signed contracts agreeing to work for a sponsor for a set number of years, usually 4-7 years, in exchange for passage to America and the promise of freedom afterward. While the work was difficult, indentured servants had potential to eventually earn their freedom. In contrast, slaves were considered the permanent property of their owners and were denied any possibility of freedom. They were brought against their will from Africa to provide forced agricultural labor, especially on plantations, and were subject to punishment and separation from their families. The use of slaves grew as a cheaper alternative to indentured servants.
