Answer
I am Dekanawidah [identified as the traditional founder of the Iroquois Confederacy] and with the Five Nations confederate [united for a common purpose] lords I plant the Tree of the Great Peace. . . . Under the shade of this Tree of the Great Peace we spread the soft white feathery down of the globe thistle as seats for you Adodarhoh [an Onondaga chief], and your cousin lords. . . . There shall you sit and watch the council fire of the confederacy of the Five Nations, and all the affairs of the Five Nations shall be transacted at this place before you.. . .We place at the top of the Tree of the Long Leaves an eagle who is able to see afar. If he sees in the distance any evil approaching or any danger threatening he will at once warn the people of the confederacy. The smoke of the confederate council fire shall ever ascend and pierce the sky so that other nations who may be allies may see the council fire of the Great Peace . . .

The examples of the ways colonies began to self-govern are:
1. Puritans held town meetings to discuss important issues.
2. Colonists elected government representatives.
3. When first starting to self-govern, Virginia colonists could only vote in government matters if they owned land.
The option "Mercantilists established a set of taxes that colonists were required to pay" does not represent self-governance, as it refers to external control rather than self-rule.

The correct response is:
**Indentured servants agreed to work for no money in exchange for land and tools after a certain period of time, while slaves were forced to work indefinitely.**
This accurately highlights the key difference between indentured servitude and slavery, specifically the terms of service and the duration of labor. Indentured servants typically worked for a fixed term (often 4 to 7 years) with the expectation of receiving land or tools after their service, while slaves were forced to work for life without any promise of freedom.
