Under the 'head right' system in Virginia, all the new arrivals who had paid their trans-Atlantic fares received fifty-acre land grant and every new settler was entitled to one slave. The head right system in Virginia was created in 1618 and was used to attract new settlers to the region and address the problem of labor shortage.

All new arrivals received 50-acre land grants after they had paid for their passage.

The headright system set the rules for indentured servitude for the Virginia colony.

Indentured servants solved the problem of labor for the Virginia colony by creating pathways for young, unmarried men to come to the colony. The owners of land, needing labor, paid for the passage of men who would be indentured, meaning they would owe the land owner payment through labor for passage. Once they paid off of the debt, they would be given a piece of land to settle. This program helped to populate Virginia as well as ease overpopulation in England.
