What did the headright system do?
The "headright" system was developed as an attempt to get more colonists to move to the newly established English colonies in the Chesapeake area. It guaranteed any colonist who paid their way to the colonies 50 acres of land. This offer was also good for anybody who payed for another person to go to the colonies. The "headright" system was appealing to many "common folk", as they were known, because it promised them land and usually it was more land than they had in England.
