James is an example of a:

C: Indentured Servant

Indentured servants were individuals who agreed to work for a specified period, typically seven years, in exchange for passage to the American colonies and a promise of land and resources once their indenture was completed. This was a common arrangement during the colonial period for those who could not afford the cost of passage to the colonies.
