One similarity between indentured servitude and chattel slavery is that individuals involved in both systems were considered property and were forced to work without wages. However, a key difference is that indentured servants typically entered into a voluntary contract for a specific period of time (usually 4-7 years) in exchange for passage to a new country, while individuals subjected to chattel slavery were enslaved for life without choice or control over their circumstances. Additionally, indentured servants had the possibility of eventually gaining their freedom and becoming part of society as a free person, whereas chattel slaves were typically treated as property to be bought, sold, and inherited as part of a system that perpetuated their enslavement across generations.
