Indentured servants were mostly peasants in England which had lost their land in the land redistribution and removal of common land, later they were other people as well.

An indentured servant was a servant that agreed to a person that he/she (mostly men) would work for that person for a certain number of years (I think it was normally 7 years. After that, they were free. They did this later mostly because of the headright system that the Virginia colony had implemented (if you or someone else paid for your passage to Virginia then you automatically get free land[this became a problem later when they ran out of land {bacon's rebellion}]).

They would and should be free after the amount of time they worked but sometimes they weren't freed because owners could put litigations against them and could keep them for a long time. Also, most of them wanted their land that they were promised but the rich blokes were hogging all of it and they would not let them settle west of the Appalachian mountains.

the correct answer is a) he thought the government’s military action was a mistake.

the whiskey rebellion was a tax protest in the us that started in 1791 and ended in 1974. it has this name because the whiskey tax was the first tax that was imposed on a domestic product by the new federal government.

jefferson was against the government’s military action because he believed that the purpose of the government was to protect the unalienable rights of its citizens and that these rights include life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness and he thought that people had the constitutional right to rebel. he has said: “the first error was to pass it (the whiskey tax); the second was to enforce it; and the third, to make it the means of splitting this union.”
