What was a primary effect of indentured servitude in the colonies?
A It created a decrease in agricultural production.
B It caused a shortage of skilled labor in major American cities.
C It provided a way for poor Europeans to migrate to America.
D It led to the abolition of inheritance laws.
The correct answer is C: It provided a way for poor Europeans to migrate to America.
Indentured servitude allowed many poor Europeans to pay for their passage to the American colonies by agreeing to work for a set number of years (usually 4 to 7) without pay. This system enabled them to migrate and seek better opportunities in America, which significantly contributed to the population and workforce in the colonies during that time.
