Worth mentioning that there was no such thing as slavery in the US at all until a black man went to court to create it:

What point do you think you're making here? Just because the word "slave" wasn't used doesn't mean some people didn't live in a de facto state of slavery already.

Wouldn't it be more accurate to say that some people made money off of slavery instead of lumping all white people, including those from states that never allowed slavery, together? Wouldn't it be more honest to say that this is a class issue rather than a race issue? Don't you feel kind of stupid damning the hundreds of thousands of people who died fighting against slavery during the Civil War as racists who got rich off of the practice?

No matter what label you use, it's the same thing. Indentured servant sounds nicer, but it's pretty much the same thing. Call it planting roses if you want but it means the same. Just because a specific word wasn't used doesn't make it any different or better.

Not at all, because indentured servitude doesn't include your children and also has an end date. The original colonies as well as the early USA didn't allow non-landed whites to vote and so the surplus population of freed indentured servants who had no say in the functions of government lead to a revolution in North Carolina, which was one of the reasons that indentured servants became less popular and slaves became more popular. There were real differences between the two.

It's fun how fast "I TEACH FACTS" turns into "well I can only talk about my experiences" when someone is challenged.
