Some historians argue that it was indentured servitude that started the American tradition of seeing humans as a commodity to be bought, sold, and abused. Do you agree with this statement? Why or why not?
I agree that indentured servitude started the American tradition of using humans for profit because soon after slavery completely replaced indentured servitude. Landowners noticed how their servants started to demand land from them. They noticed African Americans were more profitable and it would be easier to use them without the fear of them asking for more. Hope this helps Xx :)
