Except that indentures had a limited time frame while slavery was forever. Indentured servants were not considered property. Indentured servants could not be sold, or have their childern and spouses sold. Indentured servants had rights under the Constitution. But you're right. Other than that they were exactly like slaves.

Yea, you're right, those damn ungrateful Irish just didn't know how good they had it < /sarcasm>:

How many of the children and grandchildren of those Irish "slaves" were in bondage? How many were sold? How many Supreme Court decisions stated that Irish-Americans were not and could never be citizens?
