I note that while Liam claims that no Irish brought to the New World were chattel slaves, but all indentured servants (voluntary & involuntary). I have been of the understanding (perhaps false) that this is not so. Dive deeper for further discussion, or continue at this level. — PolitiTweet.org

I must acknowledge the difference between indentured servitude of any kind, and chattel slavery. One is dire, but hope remains: the other is hopeless. I seem to recall Mr. Douglass noting this in a later writing of his. So on that we agree. — PolitiTweet.org
