Also, there is a really fine line between what some may call "slavery" and "indentured servitude"....one was said to have been abolished, (children being trafficked would not agree!!) and the debt system we currently live under, right now...So many victims and so little time...FATIGUE
Yes, in the early days of the country, both whites and blacks came over as indentured servants for 7 years (though the white people usually came voluntarily and the blacks came involuntarily). Not letting black people go free after 7 years came later in the development of the country.
Blacks didn't "come over to America. They were brought here in chains. Sold at auctions to plantation owners as lifetime slaves.
indentured servants owed debt and were released after the debt was paid.
Two totally things.
Wrong, very fine line...Black history , like ALL history is written and told by the the Controllers...WW2 history is such BS...Sandyhook history is total BS and that happened last Tuesday as did 2020 Election votes...now what was it you said about re-LIE-able History and it's authors?...Plato's Cave, Circus and Toast...History and Geography is ALL a lie....
In what is now the United States, the vast majority of early settlers were indentured servants who came over to "the new world" to work for privately owned colonies that were chartered by British royalty. They were indentured servants to the owners of the colonies for 7 years to pay the debt of transport, food and housing, then granted land upon freedom.
You are correct that blacks were brought here in chains from the beginning. initially the blacks were kidnapped from the Portuguese colony of Angola. While the Spaniards and Portuguese held the Angolans as lifelong slaves from the beginning, in the British colonies-- at least initially -- they were called slaves but freed and given land after seven years, the same as the white indentured servants.
The Angolans had already been forced to adapt European cultural traits as part of being a colony, including forced to adopt Christianity. This is part of why they were viewed as people -- they already had many of the same habits and mannerisms as the (mostly) British colonists. In the very earliest days of slavery, black and white indentured people resided together in servant housing. Blacks would become free and buy slaves of their own.
As slavery expanded, traders started stealing black people from all over the continent, bringing in many people from many different cultures. As more people with "strange" cultures were forced together, there were cultural clashes, not only with the white people, but with other blacks. Whites began to view black people as "less than human" and separation of blacks and whites began to be institutionalized.
Meanwhile, the private charter colonies failed under their own weight and the crown took them over as official crown colonies. Indentured servants wasn't a "thing" any more, and that quickly faded as a cultural norm.
Plantation owners were making giant profits, and they created many laws to ensure that they stayed in power and stopped others from getting power. Laws included preventing white indentured servants from getting "good" land (a trait that defined good was land already stolen from the Native Americans so they didn't have to worry about their plantations being attacked by the Natives), blacks not being allowed land at all, and to laws to ensure black people couldn't be free.
If you are planning a vacation any time soon, I would recommend a trip to Williamsburg, Virginia to see Jamestown and Williamsburg (capital of VA during the Revolution). Fort Monroe is a relatively short drive from Williamsburg-- Fort Monroe is literally the place that slavery began and ended, and the story of that pivotal piece of land is fascinating.
The truth of our history has been adulterated and downright changed. Much of it due to school curriculum material. So corrupt!
