Yes and how was their contract of employment different from black slaves? There was no difference, so they were slaves.

Incorrect.

Slaves were forced against their will to work and serve their owners. They were owned and the was No contract involved.

Indentured servants had voluntarily signed a legal contract for a certain period of time. The contract holder paid their ship's passage to America in exchange for their labor. It was a business arrangement that was agreed to by both parties.

Much like people do today when they sign into a work contract for various projects.

For you to equate slavery with indentured servitude is very disingenuous and historically incorrect.
