On the Fact that (According to the Hilary Beckles Book, "White Servitude and Black Slavery In Barbados, 1627 to 1715") of the 836 White Servants (and Please Keep In Mind that These Servants Were Servants In Name Only In that They Were Largely Treated as Chattels and Mostly Brought There Involuntarily; Convicts, Vagrants, etc.) that Britain Sent to Barbados In 1634, 246 of Them Were Children (Street Urchins and Kidnapped Victims Mainly)

And it's also important for the readers to know that (at least in the 17th Century) the white servants were frequently treated more harshly in that as Richard Ligon contemporaneously noted, "the slaves and their posterity being subject to their masters for ever, are kept and preserved with greater care than the servants, who are theirs but for five years............so that for the time the servants have the worst lives, for they are put to very had labor, ill-lodging, and their diet very slight." And don't let those fives years fool you, either, in that a) a significant number of them didn't survive that long and b) five years all-too often turned into ten. Again I cite Ligon - "......if they complain, they are beaten by the overseer; if they resist, their time is doubled.............I have seen an overseer beat a servant with a cane about the head until the blood has followed, for a fault that was not worth the speaking of, and yet he must have patience or worse will follow. Truly, I have seen such cruelties there done to servants as I did not think one Christian would have done to another." So much for white privilege existing in the 17th Century at least.
