My ancestors are Irish! When do I get my reparations owed me for the systematic torture, starvation, raping, slavery of the my people as indentured servants in the colonies!!!

An indentured servant is indentured as a payment for debt - the only way some people could pay their debts or raise money for other purposes was to indenture themselves.

Slavery is different from indenture. Indenture was a form of contract.
