'fraid not......

you didn't pick up on

'5. The typical slave field hand was not lazy, inept, and unproductive. On average he was harder-working and more efficient than his white counterpart.'

Slavery is not about race. Challenge your college on this issue.

i believe that the point of that observation should more accurately have said: "than their NON SLAVE counterpart.".....as i am sure you are aware, there were no "white" slaves at that time. slavery in america WAS a racial thing at the time....there were only "negro" slaves....as the work was titled: "the economics of american negro slavery"
in any event, if there were "white" slaves, this study was only concerned with the "negro" slave.

There were white slaves. One was called indentured, and it wasn't usually for life. The other were called wives which usually were for life.

Thanks BobT, we appreciate the info and I personally apologize for your ill treatment by the troll.

you are right. as soon as i had posted that last entry, i realized i had overlooked the indentured servant. paying back a debt back then was a bitch.
