Trying to view the 1700's & 1800's through a 21st century prism doesn't work that well. The colors don't always come out as accurate as they should.

Hell if it comes to that I was an indentured servant when I came down here on an H1B visa. Marrying Florence changed that and got me a green card. Why do you think Bill Gates and his buddies want unlimited H1Bs. There are plenty of citizens here who can do the work, they just want to be paid what they are worth.
