A key difference between indentured servitude and slavery during the Industrial Revolution is b) discrimination.
Indentured servants typically signed contracts for a set period of time and had some legal rights, while enslaved individuals were considered property and subjected to lifelong bondage without rights or protections. Discrimination was a significant factor in how enslaved people were treated compared to indentured servants, who were usually of European descent and less likely to face the same level of systemic oppression based on race.
