Originally in the American colonies, 1600 to 1800, Native Americans and other groups, mostly white Europeans such as captured soldiers, minor criminals, etc., were used as slaves
Jamestown, Virginia in 1619 as indentured servants.
The transformation from indentured servitude (servants contracted to work for a set amount of time) to racial slavery happened gradually. There are no laws regarding slavery early in Virginia's history. By 1640, the Virginia courts had sentenced at least one black servant to slavery.
Three servants working for a farmer named Hugh Gwyn ran away to Maryland. Two were white; one was black. They were captured in Maryland and returned to Jamestown, where the court sentenced all three to thirty lashes -- a severe punishment even by the standards of 17th century Virginia. The two white men were sentenced to an additional four years of servitude -- one more year for Gwyn followed by three more for the colony.
It was not until 1661 that a reference to slavery entered into Virginia law, and this law was directed at white servants -- at those who ran away with a black servant. The following year, the colony went one step further by stating that children born would be bonded or free according to the status of the mother.
Tons of Irish"served" in Indentured Servitude, especially women, in the North AND South.
Most Historians of Today Are Total Cowards, and Are Not Willing to Present Anything That Might Upset the Establishment. And if they do display the courage necessary to present the truth, they will be ridiculed and driven from the faculties of the so‑called halls of learning.
Sejarah yang cuba digelapkan. Orang Putih taknak mengaku pernah menghambakan bangsa sendiri (ditukar nama sebagai Indentured Servants), jauh lebih awal dari Penghambaan Orang Kulit Hitam.

David Brion Davis writing in the New York Review of Books, Oct. 11, 1990, p. 37 states: "As late as the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries, continuing shipments of White Slaves, some of them Christians, flowed from the booming slave markets on the northern Black Sea coast into Italy, Spain, Egypt and the Mediterranean Islands... From Barbados to Virginia, colonists...showed few scruples about reducing their less fortunate countrymen to a status little different from that of chattel slaves... The prevalence and suffering of White Slaves, serfs and indenture servants in the early modern period suggests that there was nothing inevitable about limiting plantation slavery to people of African origin."
In 1659 the English parliament debated the practice of selling British Whites into slavery in the New World. In the Debate the Whites Were Referred to, Not as "Indentured Servants," but as "Slaves" whose "Enslavement" threatened the liberties of all Englishmen.
