Social Sciences - History / et system som i 1700-tallet forpligtede danske bønder til at forblive boende og arbejde på det sted hvor de var født
Danish term or phrase: stavnsbånd
Gyldendals giver *adscription*, med *abolition of adscription* for stavnsbåndets ophør.

Ordbogen.com giver *serfdom*, som nok er bedre.

Jeg vil lige høre, om der er nogle bedre udtryk eller kommentarer.
Min tekst er en lille forklaring på et museum, hvor mange læsere nok ikke har engelsk som modersmål.
Den går ud på, at efter stavnsbåndets ophør, havde bønderne råd til en bedre levestandard.

På forhånd tak for hjælpen!
