What was the headright system, when was it made, where?
What did it start?
System where to encourage people to come they gave land to anyone who paid their own or other’s passage. This was done in Virginia in 1617.
So landowners would pay for white immigrant’s passage in exchange for indenture. If the white man survived then he got to be a freeholder of his share of land.
What changed in the 1670s? What was the solution? Proposed by who?
Land was more scarce and expensive so the headright system didn’t work that well.
Nathaniel Bacon had the idea to get more land at the Indian’s expense. He started a rebellion in 1676 and burned Jamestown to the ground. Then killed shortly later in the year.
What did Nathaniel Bacon’s rebellion change?
Now people bought African slaves instead of white ones.
