Document Summary

There were free immigrants, convicts, slaves, indentured servants. Free migrants weren"t the majority: not as much of a religious freedom narrative, but an economic one. Convicts in the 1600s: mostly from british isles; scots banished by cromwell. Some followed their maters: the rest were indentured servants. Later in the 1700s the redemptioner system became more common: commonly in pennsylvania: servants signed contract in europe stating how long it would take them to contact people to pay their passage. If they didn"t pay the money in the agreed time they were auctioned as indentured servants: none of these contracts were negotiable. It was good and bad; some it like an apprenticeship and auctioned their kids. Prisoners: many were political exiles or caught in battle by the english, debtors: how georgia was created in 1733. James oglethorpe asked king george for permission to create a utopian experiment for english citizens imprisoned for debt.
