1 Jan 1618 Jahr - Headright System
Beschreibung:
The headright system was originally created in 1618 in Jamestown, Virginia. It was used as a way to attract new settlers to the region and address the labor shortage. With the emergence of tobacco farming, a large supply of workers was needed. New settlers who paid their way to Virginia received 50 acres of land.Zugefügt zum Band der Zeit:
