Up until the 19th Century, the predominant slaves in America were White. The Marxist talking point of those 'Whites were indentured servants' is proven false and accounted for less than 10% of all Whites slaves in America. The vast majority (90%) were slaves for life. In fact, they were slaves in perpetuity and their offspring were slaves as well.
Up to one-half of all the arrivals in the American colonies were Whites slaves and they were America's first slaves. These Whites were slaves for life, long before Blacks ever were. This slavery was even hereditary. White children born to White slaves were enslaved too. The Establishment has created the misnomer of "indentured servitude" to explain away and minimize the fact of White slavery. But bound Whites in early America called themselves slaves. Nine-tenths of the White slavery in America was conducted without indentures of any kind but according to the so-called "custom of the country," as it was known, which was lifetime slavery administered by the slave merchants themselves.
In George Sandy’s laws for Virginia, Whites were enslaved "forever." The service of Whites bound to Berkeley's Hundred was deemed "perpetual."

Slav. Slavery was a booming worldwide industry before all these documents were published. It was part of the culture whether they liked it or not.
