New system of slavery :
(i) Agents tempted the poor people by giving false information about the nature of work, final destinations, living and working conditions, modes of travel, etc.
(ii) Less willing workers were at time forcibly abducted by the agents.
(iii) On arrival at the plantations, when laborers found conditions to be different, many of them escaped into the wilds while others developed new forms of individual and collective self-expression.
