Negative Effects Of Perpetual Servitude
I think that perpetual servitude was not good. The people would have to work until they could pay out of it. If they could not pay out of it they would be slaves forever. The people that came there would have to pay to go if they didn’t they would be slaves and he would say I paid for your food shelter clothes …etc. Perpetual servitude is bad because they would enslave their own people. Secondly they would force them to work until they could pay. They also didn’t have any money they used it all going there. They couldn’t go back so there were just stuck there.

Previously, the only people who could afford come to America were wealthy people. With the idea of indentured servitude developed by joint-stock companies, anyone willing to work for a certain number of years could come to the New World.

    Indentured servitude and slavery existed in the ‘New World’ primarily for economic and population growth. In the book, Going to the Source, Slavery was defined as “hereditary” and “a lifetime status” and the slave must serve for life, however, on the other hand indentured servitude was “contractual” and “voluntary” although the servant is forced to serve for a fixed amount of years.

    Examples Of Indentured Servitude

    I chose to reflect on Slavery and indentured servitude as my topic. Firstly, I would like to talk about what each of these words mean. Slavery is exhausting labor that was done by a person held captive and made to work for free. Indentured servitude is a deal that is made between people to keep another in exchange for something they want as form of payment over time. While indentured servitude can be a form of slavery depending on the circumstance such as someone selling their child to someone else to pay of a debt which was actually quite common in when many immigrants were coming to America from Europe.…

    The origin of The Wheel of Servitude: Black Forced Labor after Slavery, is a legal study written by Daniel Novak, (the assistant professor of political science at State University of Buffalo, New York), in 1978 and was published in Lexington, Kentucky. The purpose of this legal study is to “provide perspectives on the post slavery South that will be of interest to not only professional historians, but also to everyone who is concerned with understanding of the historical and social development of racism and relations in the United States.” The purpose is valuable because according to Bayard Rustin, American Leader in social movements for civil rights, “The great value is...the clarity he brings to explaining the legal mechanisms that re enslaved…
