When you accuse me of not knowing anything, you might at least try to ascertain whether that's true or not, before you make an ass of yourself.
The first black slaves in America were indentured servants. It was one of those original arrivals from 1619 who, having worked off his indenture, began doing the same thing to build his own farm, and it was he, a free black man from Africa, who made the first recorded case before the Virginia colony's authorities that he did in fact own a lifetime indenture on his own black servants -- which was what made them slaves
Indentured or chattels, the work was the same, by the way.
Thanks for telling me what anyone who has looked into this issue knows. What's next thrilling information about Jamestown?
The work was the same but the circumstances vastly different. An indentured servant could work off his contract or buy it off even marry the bosses daughter. A black slave would find himself dead as a hammer and mutilated for voicing such ideas. After freedom the ex-endentured would have all civil rights the society allowed free men the slave never would enjoy those rights. If they ever obtained their freedom they could be forced to leave the state and their homes.
These are obviously totally different situations. Slavery vastly worse.
