the indentured servitude of whites was comparable in most respects to the slavery endured by blacks. Voluntary indentures arriving in colonial America from Britain were sold on the block, subjected to backbreaking work on plantations, poorly fed and clothed, savagely punished for any disobedience, forbidden to marry without their master's permission, and whipped and branded for running away. Nor were indentures always voluntary: tens of thousands of convicts, beggars, homeless children and other undesirable Britons were transported to America against their will.

This is horrible! They don't even have their own self appointed poverty pimps calling for reperations!

There is much lost in history. It was actually much worse than you could ever imagine. Bear in mind that women could not read or write back then as they were denied education and many of the men were not educated.

Whoever wrote this book must be a kook or is whacko.

I know for a fact that the black slaves in America, and their descendants, are the only ones who have ever endured severely hard times.

I know it because I've been told it time and time again. :roll:

You've probably been told the Civil War was about slavery in southern states too. The Emancipation Proclamation wasn't issued until January 1 1863.

You've probably never been told about free blacks who owned slaves themselves.
