    Lets hear the rest
    This story hits home my 6th Great Grandfather
    Was snatched off families lands . Next to the river Tweed on border with England. He was taken by the English and put a ship to Virginia in the colonies at the time. Sold into servitude he was 14 .it took 3 generations for my family to be free from servitude

      ​@homie3461Good question!

    • @boatman352
      @boatman352 Год назад +12

      @homie3461 Because indentured servants weren't considered property like slaves. So while a plantation owner would give his slaves the things they need to survive. The indentured servants were charged for these items. Food clothing shelter were all charged for by adding time to the servitude. Getting married and having children also added time if the wife was also a servant then the children were born into servitude and simple by being born they were indentured servants and would owe decades. By the time they were old enough to work in the tobacco fields

    • @boatman352
      @boatman352 Год назад +17

      @homie3461 No my ancestors were taken prisoner by the English they were put on a prisoner ship and sent to the colonies and sold exactly the same as African slaves were. The only difference is the law didn't allow Christians to be considered property. So while a plantation owner would take care of his property ( African slaves) the Scottish people who were forced to be servants were not treated the same. The price of a African slave was often 3 or 4 times more than what was paid for the jacobite prisoners of war . My ancestors had their own lands in Scotland with a family abbey on the river Tweed border between Scotland and England. The killed most of my ancestors took the rest prisoner and sold them to rich plantation owners here in colonies. There never was contract They were only labeled indentured because they Christians and couldn't be called what they were slaves

There’s an interesting Fort in Pennsylvania named after my maternal grandmother’s family “Fort MCCord” in which the inhabitants, save a few, were massacred or taken hostage by Indians during The French Indian Wars and at the site of the ruins and cemetery stands a memorial monument with the Scottish Thistle on it. Been there a few times, interesting history, dark times. Cape May is one of my old haunts too...when I’m not traveling back to Scotland!
