As a slave you get some food and a roof over your head

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

In exchange for travel, housing, board, lodging, and freedom dues, servants often worked for four to seven years. An indentured servant's life was difficult and restricted, but it was not slavery. Some of their rights were guaranteed by legislation. Small-scale subsistence cultivation, hunter-gathering, charity, fishing, bargaining with slaves, and finding any job they could find kept the Poor White alive. Some went to cotton mills and factories, which were previously only open to whites. I would rather be an identured slave as after my amount of years I have to work is done, I would receive all the living necessities rather than struggling to get by each day knowing that nothing was guaranteed as poor whites were trying to get any employment they could find.
