I'm black American and I knew from grade school that whites were sent
to America as indentured slaves. But your presentation really helped me
to better understand how the term "indentured slave" was just sugar
coating the fact that the Irish were slaves and if they had a contract, it
could be easily sold to the next slave owner. Due to slave rebellions, it
made sence to disallow the enslavement of white people at some point,
so that the slave owners would not be out numbered. Wealth and greed
ruled back than and it still rules today.
