Although Bailyn goes on to apply his approach to some thousands of indentured servants who migrated just prior to the revolution， he fails to link their experience with the political development of the United States. Evidence presented in his work suggests how we might make such a connection. These indentured servants were treated as slaves for the period during which they had sold their time to American employers. It is not surprising that as soon as they served their time they passed up （pass up： 放弃;错过） good wages in the cities and headed west to ensure their personal independence by acquiring land. Thus， it is in the west that a peculiarly American political culture began， among colonists who were suspicious of authority and intensely anti-aristocratic.
