    1. [PACHESTE] Check out Indentured Servants and Transported Convicts
    2. <A HREF="http://www.stratfordhall.org/ed-servants.htm">Click here: Indentured Servants and Transported Convicts</A> http://www.stratfordhall.org/ed-servants.htm Hi Everyone, How can anyone say, after reading this article, that our Indentured Sevents were not slaves? I personally can not, and refuse to give it any fancy English Title. If you were living your life this way, what would you call it? African Slave Native American Slave White Slaves Indentured Servents They all equal the same thing. If a man at any point of his life, is held by an agreement, or owned, he is not his own self free. And if the Myth of Indentured servents, concerning being held for 7 years is true, then please tell me why the North held the children of these freed Indentured servents till they were 21.The North just gave slavery a fancy title, in my eyes. It really bothers me to know that while we were winning a war in the south, against our own brothers, that we had our own closets to clean out.This is just my opion, and Iam entitled to it.
