John Punch was the first recorded slave and was owned by a white man, but a lot of /pol/ posters make reference to a black man owned by another black man.

The one thing people don't realize is however is that John Punch was enslaved because his blackness. Two white indentured servants he left with were not enslaved for life.

Also there were no white Chattel slaves, just servants.

indentured servitude wasn't slavery and wasn't even close to slavery

Irish political prisoners were occasional coerced into a system of forced indentured servitude, but they 1) were not considered property, & 2) gained independence(usually) after 7 years.

To put it in perspective, Irish political prisoners were involuntary forced to make the trip & work for years, which makes it worse than our traditional concept of indentured servitude, but killing them was still murder & they were granted independence, making it "better" than slavery.

In conclusion, no, there wasn't white slavery in the U.S. There was involuntary indentured servitude, however.

These cucks are literal apologists. Indentured servitude was just as bad as "chattel slavery". Irish "servants" were forcibly taken from their homeland(with exception to those who agreed to serve), and taken to America and forced to serve as a slave, if they did not work they were whipped and beat, just like the Negro slave, and many were never released from their "service". Wealthy blacks, and freed blacks also owned slaves.

I don't understand your green text. Some indentured servants were never released, making them lifetime slaves.
