I wanted to come to America. I agreed to work for a tobacco farmer in exchange for the trip to America. I expected to be free to work where I pleased after a few years. Who am I ?

Answer:

White Indentured servant.

Step-by-step explanation:

Growing cash crop tobacco in America became part of their economy to flourish. The growing of the tobacco led in the rise of the white servants. White indentured servants became common in America during the early settlement. Indentured servants were part of the contract which allowed them to work for a few years after reaching America and set free with receiving tools and a small plot of land to start a new life as a farmer.
