62. No need to
I am responding to your posts. Your posts equate slavery and indentured servitude, which is preposterous on its face. No historian of colonial America would support such an assertion for the reasons I stated above. There was no comparison in conditions or terms of service.

I did read some of the text and the author makes some fundamental mistakes. For example, it is true that indentured servants called their employers "masters", but until the late 1800s, the employment was called "master and servant" even for free men.
