Indentured servants in the New World largely originated from Europe. The majority were young, unmarried men and women who couldn't afford their passage to the colonies. They agreed to work for a period of time (typically 4-7 years) to pay for their travel expenses. Most came from England, but a significant number also came from Scotland, Ireland, Germany, and other parts of Europe.
Slaves:
The transatlantic slave trade was the primary source of enslaved Africans who were transported to the New World. Millions were captured from West African regions and sold to European slave traders. The main slave trade hubs were in modern-day Ghana, Nigeria, Angola, and Senegal. European powers, such as Portugal, Spain, England, France, and the Netherlands, were heavily involved in the slave trade, transporting enslaved individuals across the Atlantic to various colonies in the Americas.
