3) Liam considers primarily the case of Irish in Barbados. My claim was about the colonies that became the USA. My understanding was that in the 13 colonies there WERE Irish slaves before indentured servitude. Now unsure. Must investigate further, currently traveling. — PolitiTweet.org

2) The ACTUAL treatment of the indentured servants was often worse than that of chattel slaves. This is predicted by labor market theory, and this is what was reported by contemporaries. Dig below for details. — PolitiTweet.org

However, by and large, I accept the thrust of Liam’s claims. I think he made some distinctions without differences, some quibbles, I quibbled back, but let’s agree he’s directionally correct. Good enough. However, that is a far cry from rebutting my overall argument. — PolitiTweet.org
