Slavery might not be evil; I’m not sure. Cruel treatment of slaves is definitely evil. There are those who would prefer to be slaves. Indentured servants are slaves by their own choice. In America, they were under contract to work for the Master until their debt was paid. That debt might have been ocean passage to the New World.
Funny you should mention that. I had an ancestor who is recorded as serving terms of indenture to completion.
Now where's my 40 acres and a mule?!?
