One of the ways that the London Company attracted immigrants and helped promote the establishment of large tobacco plantations in Virginia is to offer the poor a way out of debtors prison in England. By agreeing to go to America and work as indentured servants, these people could eventually re-pay their debts and earn their freedom.
