Are those two “elephants” the Africans raiding African villages and selling people, and the indentured servitude done by the English to the Scots and Irish (plus other English)?

The first thing you mentioned was indeed one of the two "elephants;" the other elephant was the... umm... "middle eastern" role.

Dad was very aware of Brittania's history of indentured servitude and penal transportation, but I don't remember him bringing it up WRT "Roots."
