This is racist white supremacy propaganda!/s
Interesting thanks for the post.
“Although these indentured servants were only temporary slaves, they were slaves in every sense of the word.“
As long as sense of the word dies not mean being born into slavery and being a slave until the moment you die.
This does not fit the politically correct narrative.
Even on FR this might get zotted, regardless of reality.
The Confederacy solved this confusion in their Constitution
Article I section 9 (4)
No bill of attainder, ex post facto law, or law denying or impairing the right of property in negro slaves shall be passed
Article IV section 4 (3)
In all such territory the institution of negro slavery, as it now exists in the Confederate States, shall be recognized
None of this mentions the Islamic slave trade. It was even more brutal. The word for black and slave is the same word in Arabic. Since slavery is built into the Koran it still exists in Islamic countries today.
The children of an indentured servant mother were born free, according to this story:

Her ancestors were a long line of free people all the way back to the 1600's. Traced to a white indentured servant woman. That woman was punished with 39 lashes, but her child was born free.
For anyone who did not see Part 1 of this article: https://reasonmclucus.blogspot.com/2020/02/the-real-story-of-slavery-part-1.html
Most indentured servants were convicts sentenced or had their sentences commuted to 7 or 14 years working on a plantation.
They should make a movie about the “Plantation Cities” with indentured servitude and slavery .... they could use Chicago, Houston, Baltimore, LA, or any other Progressive Ghetto.
Yes, there were slaves who looked white and there were black slave owners. African and native American slaves were treated as slaves. Whites were indentured servants, which was worse than a slave but temporary. By the 19th century, there were not many indentured servants. There is no evidence from primary sources that white women endured servants were made to mate with blacks.
