Early Slavery in America

It was interesting to find out about how people became indentured in order to come to the New World. Not only were there black servants, but also white servants. This completely changes what I thought of Colonial America. The readings on run away slaves were quite interesting as it went it to incredible detail on said person. Not only that but the quote that told of the indentured servants having to strip for their potential buyers was quite something, especially since this continued in black slavery. It is quite fascinating that many people chose this path of servitude in order to come to the New World. Perhaps it was because there were not many options for them as money would be scarce for immigrants. Perhaps the prospects of what the New world offered were worth their freedoms. Whatever the case, this detail in the history of Colonial America is very interesting and reveals a new part of this history that I did not know.
