The new deal was that the Planters would work six days a week for seven years and the result of all six days labor would go to Weston and at the end of seven years the Adventures would own half of the Planters property. They would produce in a common field and at the end of the season they would evenly split what they produced after paying their debt. They were virtually indentured servants. They excepted the deal because they were back in England and had they stayed they would be put in prison. They were forced into a communal existence that they knew would not work.
