Why is indentured labour considered continuity of labour control after abolition of slavery?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Because workers could remain controlled through contracts debt and migration conditions

The direct answer is A: workers could remain controlled through contracts, debt and migration conditions. After slavery was abolished, plantation owners still needed a large, disciplined labour force. Indentured workers signed agreements for a fixed period, but recruitment advances could create debt, and rules about movement, return passage and contract penalties limited real freedom. Step by step: labour was recruited; a contract fixed the service period; debt or recruitment costs tied the worker to the employer; legal and migration conditions made leaving difficult. A is correct because it explains continuity in control without calling the system identical to slavery. B is wrong: indentured workers did not receive full political power merely by signing contracts. C is wrong: plantations continued in many regions. D is wrong: maritime migration expanded rather than completely stopping. Memory cue: abolition ended legal slavery, but not every form of labour coercion.
