We had White slaves in America, too.
#19
The Irish and lets not forget Scottish as well, we're kidnapped by the English and sold into slavery in the Americas. Yes, some were "Indentured" meaning they were slaves until whatever debt was paid then were set free. Others were lifelong slaves, bought, paid for and treated like slaves until, if I remember correctly, until the Slave Revolt in the 1600's. White and black slaves rose up against their master and tried to make it to Florida, which was a free territory held by the Spanish I think. After this uprising, the laws were changed in the colonies, but not in Central and South America where white slaves were still treated as such.

Then again, I could be remembering all of this wrong. It was a long time ago when I learned about this and a brain injury has things scrambled and will be scrambled until I die, lol.
