White Cargo: The Forgotten History of Britain's White Slaves in America

Author: Don Jordan & Michael Walsh
Stars: 5
Review by: Marianne S

An interesting look at indentured servitude in Colonial America.  Many of the servants who were supposedly in America to start a new life were actually kidnapped and transported against their will (some as young as 6) or transported convicts.  I don't remember learning any of this in history classes.
