The peasants had a few more freedoms than slaves. They could choose not to work at a particular job, although getting another line of work was next to impossible. They could go to live somewhere else, although saving the money to do this was nearly impossible. They could marry the person they picked to marry, although the selection in a village was not great. They got to keep some of their income for themselves.
