In the textbook, the phrase used for indentured servants in some locations is English servants. What’s the word indentured mean with the word servant? Merriam Webster Online explains it is “a person who signs and is bound by indentures to work for another for a specified time especially in return for payment of travel expenses and maintenance.” To sign a document indicates the signer is a free person who agrees to the terms of the indenture. What’s an indenture? “to divide (a document) so as to produce sections with irregular edges that can be matched for authentication.” Think of it this way: when you tear paper, the ragged edge is unique.
