Anyone who has spent more than a few hours studying the history of Slavery will realize that the “20 and odd” Angolan Slaves, who arrived on August 20, 1619 in the British colony of Virginia (AKA Colonial North America and/or British North America), were some of the luckiest Slaves in the history of Slavery. Well, actually, they were sold as “indentured servants.” Check this out:
Between one-half and two-thirds of European immigrants to the American Colonies between the 1630s and American Revolution came under indentures.
Just a few African Slaves ever made it to Colonial North America, i.e., ‘Only about 388,000.‘ The rest went to South America and the Caribbean.
