There is a bit of a difference between the indentured workers and the slaves discussed above.
Indentured servants certainly had a hard time, they worked hard and were treated badly, but they weren’t slaves. They left their homes voluntarily, they owned their own bodies and could not be bought and sold, they were paid pittances until they paid off their indentures but they were paid, they had rights and could appeal to the courts, they could get married to the spouse of their choice and eventually own property.
They had a hard life but they were not slaves.
The people described above were slaves, pure and simple, they were captured and taken in chains to work as slaves and had zero rights, they were treated as animals and could be bought and sold or killed with impunity.
Indentured service and slavery were two very different things.
Not arguing but from what I read over the years, some were, some weren’t.
I’m just saying the label “indentured servent” was used to cover up the fact that the Irish and Scots were are first slaves in the colonies.
