It's more like if they survived seven years, it was so common for these people to die when they were done. It was also very common for them to be like abducted at sea and forced back into indenture. Yeah, it was nasty. Just everything about it is horrible. Indenture and chattel slavery are horrific and morally repugnant and evil. But there are differences between them.

Ah, see, the scale is it. The scale is the thing that's worth noting. The indenture, that kind of fades away. pretty quickly, whereas slavery persists until there's a gigantic war over it. I'm sure there were slaves who were treated better than indentures. I don't think the individual cases really matter that much because the point, I think,

One of them is you weren't allowed to enslave Christians, generally speaking, even heretics like the Irish Catholics. But Even the idea of everybody has this idea of like slaving expeditions into the African interior. And this is not really the most accurate picture of how slavery worked.

The reality of the transatlantic slave trade was more like you pulled up at a McSlavers along the coast and bought what you wanted.
