People were willing to risk their lives as indentured servants because they were seeking a better future and were often promised land or money after completing their term of service. Many were seeking to escape poverty or persecution in their home countries and saw indentured servitude as a means to a new start in a different land. Additionally, some individuals may have been misled or coerced into accepting indentured servitude as a way to debt repayment or criminal punishment.
