Indentured servants

Explanation:

The first European settlement in the Chesapeake bay area is Jamestown, founded in 1607. Soon after the mapping of the bay English migrants settled on the easily accessible shores.

By the end of the 17th century indentured servants (a debt bondage) who gained their freedom had little choice but to hire themselves out for low wages to their former masters.
