As an absolute greenhorn on this subject, please tell me this: If an indentured servant was transported at the expense of another and then served his contracted time, would he be considered manumitted?? If not, what term would that have been? And further, in the early 1600's am I correct in believing that there was little difference with regard to race (poor was poor no matter what color??) and that was the real issue?? "Gentlemen" had no pockets, touched no money and that was the difference between the categories of men: barristers/attorneys/lawyers and doctors/pharmicists. Please give me not only the correct terms but the correct spelling as well. Thanks, Ernie
