Weren't they granted freedom after a certain time of working? How's that any different than current, work 40+ years, then hopefully retire comfortably?
White folks were. Indentured servitude was significantly different from slavery. In fact, traditionally, indentured servitude often only lasted for seven years.
Different types of slavery have existed throughout American history. No type has been institutionally as total as the enslavement of the Negro. You are certainly correct when suggesting that the Irish suffered oppression, however. Thanks for playing.
I did some digging as I’m into genealogy and was curious because my Great Grandmother was from Luxembourg but in photos looked like Blackfoot or Souix Indian. I found out that since European settlers wanted land here, many Indians were kidnapped and dumped in other countries. The main countries being the Philippines, Carribean, Spain, Luxembourg and I forget the last one. Therefore, my great grandmother could easily have been Indian. Also, I believe that Pangea could have been real and that there was no such ice age bridge, rather after the flood in Noah’s day, many former continents remained underwater (this explains underwater cities being discovered)
Once again, however, if you find slavery to be indistinguishable from your own life, I will be your master and you will come and work for me on my land. Your wife and children are my property, as well, of course, and I will determine what possessions you have. However, I will feed you enough to live on and I will never beat you unless you try to leave my property without my say so.
Isn't that pretty much what biden's fed regime is pushing for. I mean c'mon man, any transaction of $600 needs reporting. Meanwhile you can steal up to $900 in commiefornia with no repercussions
Pushing for slavery? Hmmm....one can oppose Xiden without pretending that his evils are different than they are. Slavery, for example, would not allow one to have ANY transaction of cash. One is not paid for one's labor under slavery. Soooooo, some might say slavery is a little bit worse than what Biden suggests.
Sometimes hyperbole obscures the nature of an honest grievance rather than illuminating the nature of that grievance through comparison. In this case, It is probably enough to denounce these plans on their own (de)merits without reference to the institutionalized enslavement of people, or, say, the Holocaust or other historic tragedies.

That was the indentured servant which was to pay iff a debt and only worked when the masters were honest and just

And was all races, white included though mainly irish for some reason.

And I’m sure you would be more than happy to choose which children you could have as wives or concubines.
Were I a slavemaster, that would be so. It was and has ever been the frequently-exercised prerogative of slaveholders.
