'The election was unconstitutional': Oaf Creeper Stewart Rhodes testimony goes off the rails

41. Indentured servants.

How many people of European descent even know what that term means? Chances are, if your ancestors came to this country well before the Revolutionary War, they were indentured servants. They were either convicted criminals, willing to come to the "new world" (to the indigenous people of this land it was "the world" ) for a minimum of seven years of free labor to the land owner who purchased their indenture.
Others just wanted to escape Europe, for whatever reason, and their term of indentured servitude was usually four to six years.
In essence they were just as enslaved as African slaves, but had the promise of one day being released from indenture.
My ancestors were indentured servants who came from England, not as criminals, but as people who wanted a chance for new life away from the reach of Kings and religious persecution. They were granted their freedom after having served their indenture, and later fought in the Revolutionary War against the British.
So many of these numbskulls - who think themselves so very pure and entitled - had ancestors who were slaves.
