Which of these describes the Headright System? A barter and trade system;

The Headright System was not a barter and trade system. Instead, it was a land allocation method used primarily in the 17th and 18th centuries in colonial America, particularly in Virginia and later in other colonies. Under this system, individuals were granted parcels of land (headrights) for each indentured servant or enslaved person they brought to the colony. The system aimed to encourage settlement and cultivation of land by providing incentives for people to migrate and work the land.

In summary, the Headright System is best described as a land grant system designed to encourage immigration and settlement, rather than a barter and trade system.
