[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]https://thehill.com/homenews/state-watch/429335-gayle-king-corrects-northam-for-referring-to-slaves-as-indentured Holy crap, this guy is worse than I thought. I hope that if I am ever in a situation like this, I can remain as classy and diplomatic as Gayle King. My goodness.[/quote] He's actually not wrong. The first slaves were treated as indentured servants. Looks like he's been doing his reading, though that's probably too fine of a distinction to make to quell the outrage machine.[/quote] Well the first slaves that arrived in Virginia were “human cargo” that were actually taken from a Portuguese ship the British captured and stole. So then they took the people to Virginia and voila. The Portuguese were headed to somewhere in the Caribbean when the ship was intercepted. The Africans were never treated like indentured servants.
