The reason why my paper is so short is because of the reason stated above.
I wanted just a simple membership to view a few documents because I have to write a DBQ on the French and Indian war and one of the documents was really helpful and now I have tow write this mini essay.

-Many men scrambled for labor during the time of the Tobacco Boom (1620’s).
-These men [Indentured servants] would serve up to 7 years in exchange for a pre-paid passage over to the Americas.
-A few laborers from
