White Servitude In The Colony Of Virginia: A Study Of The System Of Indentured Labor In The American Colonies (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781169066120)

White Servitude In The Colony Of Virginia is a historical study of the system of indentured labor in the American colonies, particularly in Virginia. Written by James Curtis Ballagh, this book provides a comprehensive account of the lives of indentured servants in Virginia during the colonial period. The author explores the origins of the system of indentured labor, its development, and its impact on the social and economic history of Virginia. He also examines the conditions under which indentured servants worked, the terms of their contracts, and the ways in which they were treated by their masters. The book sheds light on the experiences of both men and women who were forced to leave their homes and families in England and come to Virginia to work as servants. It also highlights the role of indentured labor in the growth of the Virginia colony, and its contribution to the emergence of a new society in America. Overall, White Servitude In The Colony Of Virginia is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of the American colonies, labor history, or the experiences of early immigrants to America.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
