In what way was the life of an indentured servant different from that of a slave?
a. A slave could be whipped for disobeying the master, but an indentured servant’s punishment was less severe.
b. A master could work a slave almost to death; an indentured servant’s workday was limited to 10 hours.
c. The indentured servant could leave their masters at any time by agreeing to work elsewhere and pay a fine to the master; a slave could buy his freedom only with the master’s permission.
d. The servant worked for a set number of years and received a set of clothes, tools, and 50 acres of land afterward; a slave received nothing.
