On the Fact that the Authorities In London Circa 1615 (As Well as Those from Virginia and the Bermuda Archipelago) Attempted to Redefine Their Illegal Detention and Ultimate Deportation of Street Children to the Colonies as Forced Laborers as this Grand Humanitarian Act

Yeah, I guess that their assertion was that these kids would learn a trade and ultimately be provided with some land after some set amount of time. Needless to say, this rarely if ever happened in that a) very few of these kids ever leaned a skill aside from back-breaking labor, b) most of them perished well before adulthood, and c) those that did get some land, it was generally in close proximity to Algonquin territory (where the welcome mat as a rule wasn't rolled out).............and, so, no, not a shitload of white privilege here anyway.
