No, indentured servants had a lower life expectancy than colonists. They often faced harsh working conditions, poor living conditions, and inadequate healthcare, leading to a shorter lifespan. Colonists typically had better access to resources and lived in more settled communities, which contributed to a longer life expectancy.
