...Which is the whole "economic resources" point. You could work your debt off in America, and then you'd be free. Then you had to earn enough to buy transportation home, but by then, you'd be either well set up here, or dead.
A very different ball of wax compared to the "lifers" shipped to Australia.
It also started a good deal of "southern" culture, many of the early plantations in the south started with these "indentured servants", then found the slaves to be more economical. The whole indenturing thing died off pretty quickly once the slave trade got going in earnest.
Happy MLKII day.
