“Black slaves received better treatment than Europeans.....”

That’s outright comedy.

It depends on what you mean by, comedy?

Indentured servants didn’t have it too good.

Did black slaves also have a 2 year estimated life span once they reached the “new world” like the white slaves did?

This should shut up those who harp on black slavery once and for all time.

The only way that is REMOTELY true is the fact that someone who paid for a slave would be quite careful to beat them within an inch of death but not kill them as it meant a lost investment, while conscripts were free.

But even with that sliver of truth the statement is still laughably false.
