Indentured servnts weren’t slaves. They served for seven years then were free. They wern’t considered property and their descendants weren’t bound in perpetutity.
You are incorrect and obviously did not read the article either. Please read this historically accurate article before responding foolishly...
Read up on the very first legal chattel slave in the British North American colonies and get back to me. His name was John Casor. He was an indentured servant sued by his master for his labor, for life.
again read the article before you comment you’re making assumptions based on your understanding without reading the article that dispute your assumptions about how indentured servitude worked in reality
There is a logic to this.
if you have two slaves..
one you own in perpetuity (40 + years) and
0ne you own only temporarily (7 years)
which are you going to use up first?
since you only have the temporary one for 7 years but the permanent one for a longer time
you basically want to use up the short timer first ...you use up (work harder) the one that has the shorter time of being a slave to you
