In the comments, list at least one incentive that encouraged planters to use the Headright System. You can measure just about anything (on a map) using the tools at daftlogic.com.

One incentive that encouraged planters to use the Headright System was that: For each laborer brought across the Atlantic, the master was rewarded with 50 acres of land.

It was more practical compared to what they were previously using.

What were they previously using? I think you're a bit ahead of yourself here.

Since more wokers would get the master more land they had incentive to get more workers for more land.

Do you notice any repetition? Your response can be reduced to "More workers got the master more land." True, but not detailed. How many workers earned how much land? 1 worker = 50 acres.
