This statement is patently false.

Slavery is an economic system that relies on involuntary servitude. In the colonies, and later in America, slaves were purchased by an individual for life, and their children were also property of the slaveowner.

White indentured servants were not slaves because their servitude was voluntary and their children were not bound to the master.

White convicts were not slaves because they were not owned by an individual. They were prisoners of the state.

White slavery never existed in America. This is historical fact.
