On the Fact that (According to Historians as Divergent as Howard Zinn, John Gillingham, and Richard Hofstadter) Nearly Two-Thirds of the White People Who Came to North America Came in Chains (as Indentured Servants) and a Significant Percentage of Them Failed to Survive Their Seven Year Term (the Fact that the White Slaves Were Probably Treated Worse than the Black Ones Because the Black Ones Were Seen as Lifelong Investments) - Quick Addendum

Oh, and the survival rate of the Irish Slaves sent to Barbados by the loathsome Oliver Cromwell - yeah, that was damned close to zero percent (http://www.amazon.com/Hell-Barbados-Ethnic-Cleansing-Ireland/dp/0863222870/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1461025278&sr=1-1&keywords=to+hell+or+barbados). Just for the record here.
