Indentured servants were freed once their debt was paid.
Slaves were Owned for generations and generally not allowed to pay their way to freedom.
Southern plantation owners would not pay a dime for a white slave as the climate in the south was detrimental.
Slavery was about cheap labor more than it was racism. Poor whites resented black slaves understandably .
Often the slaves were better educated than the poor whites in the surrounding neighborhoods..
Jefferson Davis and Stonewall Jackson educated their slaves.
I grew up in Southern history, with Southern Christian white teachers as well as black teachers and children of slaves.
It's sad that y'all are so keyed up on race than MAGA.
Coincidentally, and this per the documents of the era, the debt almost never got paid off... Familiar with the concept of the company store? You're keyed up on race, I think. Every master was a different case, just as in Europe and rest of the Americas, and even now in the middle east, which holds more slaves than ever were in the USA. You may not have seen these in the south, but one can still find antique signs prohibiting Irish and negroes. The white slaves wound up in northern factories, horrendous sweatshops and physical and sexual abuse abounding. "All y'all" need to open up to the crucial things from other places and not focus too narrowly on your own places.
Slavery Wasn't legal in Union States. So factory workers got paid wages. Why would the FREE States fight against their interests?Not logical by any stretch of imagination.
Recorded info as well as oral history bears witness to my response.
Oh my gosh, that's a dense response. Slavery want legal so factory tyrants happily used "indentured servants," and recorded info had their letters to reach other and their purchased elected officials discussing such. Not logical, lol! The northern money wanted to take out the southern money, not sure why you think 'free' states ever fought against their interests, hahaha. Unless you actually believe propaganda, oh wait... You think that the plebes who fought actually knew the reasons for the wars. Hate to tell you fren, but a deeper look into those who really ran things is required. It's painful.
After indentured servants debt payoff,they were able to purchase land and establish neighborhoods and businesses. Many of these free Whites moved out west.
These options were not available to slaves as they and their offspring WERE OWNED and this was enforced by Southern legal systems.
indentured servants weren't Owned they were
merely in debt. That they were treated badly and poorly paid is another issue. Indentured servants had options and were not bound to their position as slaves were.
Slavery is multi generational. Indentured servitude is not.
