policy promote British migration to the New
World? The headright system was a system where if you could pay to get
your self to America then you got 50 acres of land and any servants you had got
50 too. This promoted migration because a lot of people in England didn’t have
land and wanted some.
2. Explain the system of indentureship. What was
life like for indentured servants? The system of
indertureship works in the way that a person, mainly male

Hutchinson pose to the Massachusetts Bay
leadership? Roger Williams and Anne Hutchinson both

having any kind of power as a woman was not accepted.
10. What was the basis of economic wealth in the

economy was trading with the West Indies, fishing, and other
manufacturing like shipbuilding.
11. What sort of social order took root in the
Carolinas? Why was it different from that
proposed under Carolina's Fundamental
Constitution? The Carolinas weren’t very united in
anything other than their name, the North and South didn’t
really get along and Lord Baltimore wanted any colonists who
lived there to give annual payments from them. But

and the Fundamental Constitution for Carolina created an
elaborate system of land distribution and a social order.
12. How did southern Carolina's close ties with the
British island of Barbados influence the
development of the colony's society? British islands
of Barbados influenced the colonies society because African
slavery took root in Barbados way before any mainland

Carolina they brought African slaves with them and helped
encourage the importing of African slaves.

others find a home.
