what were the cultural exchanges that happened in america after the indentured labourers arrived there
Answers
Indentured servitude in the Americas was a means by which immigrants, typically young Europeans under 25, came to the Americas from the early 17th to the early 20th centuries. Immigrants would contract to work for an American employer for a time period, usually between one and seven years, in exchange for the employer paying for their passage to the Americas. The employer provided subsistence for his indentured servants, but no wages; he could restrict some of their activities such as marriage, could sell or transfer their contract to another employer, and could seek legal sanctions, such as prison, if they ran away. At the end of the agreed time period, the servant would become free to go his own way or demand wages for his work. In some cases, the newly freed person also received an item of value such as a small parcel of land or a new suit of clothes.
The indentured labor meant that the contract bound immigrants from the Caribbean or European region mainly were sought to serve the American traders or companies, without being paid by wages but on subsistence.
Explanation:
These were bounded legally through the contract aged young adolescents and range below 25 years of age, for a year to 7 years. They belong mostly to Europe or Caribbean region and thus brought their cultures with them. On being free after the completion of contract, they used to intermingle with the existing culture and also being in service, had their cultural existence.
