Indentured servants were almost entirely British and Irish until the crown put a stop to it.
People stuck on slaves ships in shackles were not under any impression that they were going to be free in 7 years. They were sold as slaves by slave traders of their own race.

The deal was that we were to come here and after 7 years would be free.Well cotton was flowing and thriving and the South didnt want to let the slaves go and therefore the war started.Im 100% against anyone of any color getting a handout all im saying is if the playing field was level the mentality of most minorities and people of all colors would have a different mentality..think about it

All in all your grasp of history is no better than a 5th graders.
What you just read is the result of the demonization of people of European descent in the public schools. History has been rewritten to reflect the PC attitudes of our time.
