No, they weren't, and that type of servitude was almost completely gone by the beginning of the War of Independence.Their children were slaves also and the Irish haven't spent 100 years whining over it....and using it as a crutch and excuseWere their children and grandchildren bound to slavery also? Were their children sold off as slaves?White Indentured Servants had a 70% die rate. They were generally 16 to 20, 1 grand parent living, maybe both parents, and masters who were not interested in getting from them but labor. Most volunteered for economic servitude, and if they survived the five to seven year contract, they were free to compete for land.
Much better deal that black slaves.
Keep it in perspective, you white losers complaining about this.
Very few ever saw any land, very few. They were as young as toddlers, most of them kidnapped off the streets from England, Ireland and Scotland. Read White Cargo, a good read and tells the awful truth
Did the Irish spend the next 100 years as second class citizens?
You fail if you are attempting to equate white indentured servitude with Negro chattel slavery.
Awwww another one who doesn't have a clue as to the real history of this nation. Sit down loudmouth, you're ignorant
