Common understanding back then and waaaayyyy before was that black slaves and yes, white indentured “servants” were considered property, not free men or people.

All is forgiven since we are not to judge the present (Politically incorrect) but the deconstruction of the past produces surges of moral superiority up and down our spines. How "enlightening" our soceity, made up of present day hypocrites, is when condeming the past.
