White Cargo: The Forgotten History of Britain's White Slaves in America
Jordan, Don
Walsh, Michael
Notes
In the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, 300,000 people or more became slaves there in all but name. Urchins were swept up from London's streets to labour in the tobacco fields, brothels were raided to provide 'breeders' for Virginia and hopeful migrants were duped into signing as indentured servants, unaware they would become chattels who could be bought, sold and gambled away.| Location | edition | Bar Code | due date |
