Indentured servitude and chattel slavery were essentially the same systems. The only differences were the countries the people traveled from.

Both systems involved individuals being forced to work without pay for a certain period of time. However, one key difference is that chattel slavery involved the permanent ownership of individuals as property, while indentured servitude typically had a set period of servitude after which the individual could gain their freedom. Additionally, chattel slavery was often based on race and perpetuated the idea of racial superiority, whereas indentured servitude did not always have a racial component.
