Is a indentured servant poor

Technically the question should be "Was an indentrued servant poor?" seeing as indentured servanthood was outlawed a while ago. However to answer the question, yes they were. In fact, many of them accepted the contract just to get somewhere. For example, many indetured servants were just poor people who wanted to get to the America in the 1700s but didn't have enough money so they signed a 7 year contract with a wealthier person who agreed to provide for them and get them to America in exchange for the 7 years of work. However, this "7 year" time was often abused by the wealthier person. For example, they would say something along the lines of "You didn't work hard enough. You owe me another year." So many people would not get out for a long time.
