This story of white servitude is hidden and they represent (AT LEAST) 1/2 to 2/3 of the first settlers of the America colony.
They were temporary chattel.

The Forgotten White Slaves Of America
By: Nehesy (Jan 2009)
You had:
– The Redemptioners ( specially the Germans who came with all their family but the family members were frequently sold to different masters);
– The Indentured Servants who sold themselves for a better life and a better place to live; they were lured with false promises ie “A land of milk and Honey is waiting for you in the new world”; and London was characterized by high poverty, famine and was “infested” with plagues…
– The kidnapped people of London, Bristol and Liverpool (Men, Women, Children); It was a Royal policy : POOR RELIEF;
– The poors and vagrants (Men, Women, Children) of the United Kingdom;
– The loose or lewd women (prostitutes);
– The convicts and criminals; who were highly preferred by planters because they were bound for 14 years at least; The child servants were praised for the same reason ( long period of bondage)…Maryland and Virginia were convicts’ states…
– The war prisoners ie Irish and Scottish ( Monmouth Rebels , Covenanters etc); the “Irish slave trade” is hidden into our history books but it’s a reality of the past …
– Apprentices , which was the best form of “bondage” (with the Redemptioners) because they could learn a job;
– Many indentured servants came from Europe (Italy and Greece) as well;
– Seamen impressed in ships ( they were bound to the master’s ship and could whipped in case of mutiny). They were often kidnapped in British Taverns; many case of desertions occurred in the Royal and Continental navies. As Richard Brandon Morris said they were the “last slaves” to be emancipated in 1915…Their hand could be cut off in a case of aggression against the ship’s captain…
It must be said that London ( Liverpool,Bristol) Merchants and British authorities ( Royalty; Mayor etc) were responsible for their temporary enslavement, and made huge profits in selling them to the colonies …
London ( Liverpool , Bristol) Merchants with British Authorities ( specially the Royalty) were also involved in the African slave trade…
When the supply of white servants happened to be insufficient in order to match the labor demand in the colonies, they created the Royal Company of Africa in order to import (kidnap) more Africans…
When you have a look at the first census in the American colonies , white servants or temporary slaves, outnumbered African slaves in all the British colonies ( America and West Indies).
The African slave trade and the possession of black slaves happened to be more profitable to the former servants traders/drivers and to the former servants masters in the colonies. This is why, we African or afro descendants suffered so much..
Planters were really harsh on them : many servants deaths were due to maltreatment…
After the American Revolution, British turned to Australia , as a convict colony. The Jails ships in London ( called “HULKS” were overcrowded).
When the African slave trade has been abolished, they turned to Asia for the “Pig” Trade or Coolie Trade, ( China and India). The same suffering, the same maltreatments, the same riots ( in the plantations and the slave ships)….
Only the European poor and the middle class went to the new world , the richest stayed in Europe.
Many white servants and black slaves married together because they suffered the same pains and maltreatments. Many white servants were involved in slave riots like in the New York Plot ( see Pr Richard Brandon Morris and Pr Abbott Emerson Smith), and some even fled to the Indians with their black brethren.
They suffered the “middle passage” as well, because they died like flies in the ships who brought them to the colonies, they were packed like “herring”….
With the time, white servants became overseers, and hatred was installed between the two communities, by the planters who divided them in order to ruled them…Some white servants were used in the militia in order to defend the colony from French and Spanish , but also to kill Indians or suppress slaves insurrections.
The “Divide and Rule” technique was used against the Indians (first slaves in America) in order to get allies and slaves. Europeans would give guns to their Indian allies in order to enslave other Indians. They used this technique in Canada, North America, South America ( Mexico) , the West Indies (Cuba) and in Africa as well… But the Indians slaves in North America died like flies, and could flee easily because after all it was their country.
Europeans kidnapped Indians , or caused wars between Indians tribes in order to response to their labor demand.
The American used the race card in order to ally with the white servants (or former servants), even if they really despised them , by calling them names : “White Trash”; “Redneck”; “Hillbillies”; “White niggers” etc.
It’s must be said that white servant preceded the black slave into the South plantations.
And the system which was imposed to them ( punishment, tortures, rapes, separation of families etc) was ready to absorb the black Africans slaves ( See Pr Ulrich B Phillips).
It was really “A NASTY” period for poor whites and anything colored ( Blacks, Indians etc).
The European rich class caused a lot of suffering to these people , even if they were white like them ….
Nothing better could happened to blacks, Chinese or Indians who were bound to that same class !!!
The seeds and the framework of their suffering can be found in the story of the white “slaves” who peopled American and West Indies colonies.
The racial card and segregation was played against them, and the white colonists had any mercy for them : Burned alive, Emasculation; Cutting the limbs; Extreme cases of torture …
This is stories they won’t tell you at school, or in Hollywood movies. In order to know a little research process is compulsory…
I will write a proper article on that topic with the references (100 % from European scholars) . We need to spread the truth.
In Rome slave traders bought slaves from different countries, ethnics backgroung and languages just to avoid the slave revolts…The slave traders in the new world used the same techniques it was an heritage from European not so glorious past (Antiquity)…
I was in Puerto Rico a month ago if you read scholars like José Antonio Saco (Historia de la esclavitud de la raza africana en el nuevo mundo y en especial en los paises Americo Hispanicos), according to the spanish archives of that time the first slaves in Santo Domingo of the 15th century (actual Dominican Republic & Haiti, because the French were not there yet) were whites.
I saw the official document of white slaves in Puerto rico owned by spanish slave owners in el Museo de nuestro raiz Africana in Old San Juan !!! I took a picture of that document.
Guys I will share with you once again we have to spread the truth
If you read the first decree in Santo Domingo in January 1522, against the slave rebellions after the first black slave revolts of the wolofs of Senegal ( who were part of the almoravides) in December 1521. This decree reports also WHITE SLAVES or ESCLAVOS BLANCOS ( you can find it in Carlos Esteban Deive “Los guerrilleros Negros”)
But they want BLACK people to accept this “SLAVE STATUS” when it’s not the truth ( SLAVE = a white man from Eastern Europe so slave traders replaced it by the N word which by the way was also used against the Poor whites i.e white niggers).
In Sumer the slaves were called SARKU, a term for scholars like Sir Henry Rawlinson ( who translated the cuneiform scriptures) or George Smith designed a WHITE MAN… The blacks in that area were called ADAMU like their black father ADAM (peace be upon him)
In Phoenicia Joseph MacCabe will tell you that the bulk of slaves were also from the North (i.e whites)
They hide the truth about slavery in Antiquity and Middle Age in Europe for the following reasons :
– Shame for the white supremacy myth
– Christians enslaved christians (included their monks who had slave plantations in Europe) : scandinavians vs english, Franks vs slaves, French tribes vs French Tribes
– Christians and Jews (Radhanites) sold slaves to the Muslims during the Middle Age ( armies of slaves in Muslim spain, domestics, servants, concubines, enuchs)
– Venitians and Genoans sold white slaves to the muslims in North Africa until the 15th-16th century at least
– They want us to show that Europe was a continent with High Morality which is not the truth ( One slave = One Horse or One Beef)
– They don’t want africans to know that there were internal tribal wars in Europe who produced a huge internal slave trave for centuries (Henri Alexandre Wallon, Moses Finley, Charles Verlinden, March Bloch etc): remember this is what the LIE they spread against us (i.e we africans are the savages who sold themselves to European slave traders), when they enslaved each other for centuries in their continent without any mercy…
PEACE
@ Savt
very true , only ONE RACE, no one is superior to the other
But that same class who controls everything including our official history are those who spread racism and made many adepts among the ignorance mass…But they know the truth for sure ….All the scholars are directly or undirectly financed by their money.

400 YEARS ARE AT THE END!
I have been watching for when the second exodus is to happen.
Gen 15:13 And he said unto Abram, Know of a surety that thy seed shall be a stranger in a land that is not theirs, and shall serve them; and they shall afflict them four hundred years;
Deu 28:68 And Yahüeh shall bring thee into Egypt (House of Bondage) again with ships, by the way whereof I spake unto thee, Thou shalt see it no more again: and there ye shall be sold unto your enemies for bondmen and bondwomen, and no man shall buy you.
This is not the first ‘bondage or exodus’ which took 430 Years in bondage.
Exo 12:40 Now the sojourning of the children of Israel, who dwelt in Egypt, was four hundred and thirty years.
Exo 12:41 And it came to pass at the end of the four hundred and thirty years, even the selfsame day it came to pass, that all the hosts of Yahüeh went out from the land of Egypt.
The People of the Book are gathering. Qimah – National Community Meeting 9/18/2011 and many other Tribes of the Nation of Ysral (no gentile or hebrew) from all Nations. I was told by the Spirit that the war would start as we were getting ready. China warned U.S. about capturing Bin Laden and invading a Pakistan, Sovereign nation (recently).
Our so-called Gentile Brothers and Sisters were taken by ship in 1611 and all slaves work, ate and socialized together at that time.

THE KING JAMES VERSION (APOCRYPHA LATER REMOVED) OF 1611 (WROTE TO ENSLAVE) HAD THE DATE ALL ALONG! IT’S ALWAYS IN “PLAIN SIGHT”!.
Jer 23:3 And I will gather the remnant of my flock out of all countries whither I have driven them, and will bring them again to their folds; and they shall be fruitful and increase.
Some verses say AGAIN OR A SECOND TIME!
Isa 11:11 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the Lord shall set his hand again the second time to recover the remnant of his people, which shall be left, from Assyria, and from Egypt, and from Pathros, and from Cush, and from Elam, and from Shinar, and from Hamath, and from the islands of the sea.
Isa 11:12 And he shall set up an ensign for the nations, and shall assemble the outcasts of Israel, and gather together the dispersed of Judah from the four corners of the earth.
Isa 11:13 The envy also of Ephraim shall depart, and the adversaries of Judah shall be cut off: Ephraim shall not envy Judah, and Judah shall not vex Ephraim.
Happy, Oh, Joy Praise Yahüeh! (pictograph pronunication: all Vow Al’s (Vows of the Mighty Leader) Eeah’ooeh.
Much Love, Family!
If you really want to understand this issue well enough you should read the books:
The Invention Of The White Race (The Origin Of Racial Oppression In Anglo-America) Vol 1 and Vol2 by Theodore W. Allen, because Allen really explain it these books why so called “white race” was found from early decades of 18th century.
Allen:
“Given the informing principle of racial oppression–to deny, disregard, delegitimate previous or potential social distinctions that may have existed among the oppressed group, or that might tend to emerge in the normal course of development of a class society–“the white race,” an all-class compact of European-Americans to keep African-Americans out and down, did not exist, and could not then have existed.
That conclusion is supported by evidence of class solidarity of laboring-class European-Americans with African-Americans, and the consequent absence of an all-class coalition of European-Americans directed against African-Americans. Considering the fact that no more than one out of every four bond-laborers was an African-American, even as late as the 1670s and 1680s, there were a significant number of court-recorded collaborations of African-Americans and European-Americans in a common endeavor to escape their bondage, of which only a selected few can be mentioned in the space allowed in this summary. “
wow the information and books that i cant wait to read now!!!! i have been wanting to find more about the REAL history of slavery all over the world and all cultures, ‘servant’ has always been and always will be just another name for slave!! the untold horrors that have occured because one human regarded another human as ‘less’ should bring shame to EVERYONE! formerly ‘jan’
This was a great read, I am White and poor from central London so am obsessed with the race ‘debate’. This history is of massive importance to poor people and the descendants of the poor. It breaks down the racial barriers INVENTED to keep the poor masses fighting each other rather than uniting to stake their rightful claim to mother earths abundant energies. A relatively small group has enslaved the majority of humanity wherever they have gone.
The race ‘debate’ is rearing it’s ugly head again in England. Many of the loudest voices do not realize that they only further the agenda of the ruling elite. Dianne Abbot is a perfect example when she talks about white people loving divide and rule – powerful people love divide and rule, whether they are African kings or European Queens and it is used effectively on everyone.
Information like this is the first step in uniting the masses in their equality and commonality.
