Indentured servants (slaves) - some do indeed enter into agreements but the conditions of the contract are misleading or fabricated whereby they do not find themselves at the end of the contract but rather in one contract after another over which they have no real control over. Then there are those who are roped into giving their children over (on 'contract' of course)... the child likely has no say in this contract and while they are viewed as indentured servants (by way of their parents), they are indeed slaves. In the end, both work against their will.

And, while the lines may be blurred for some and clear-cut for others, both indentured servants and slaves suffer. The key point isn't to focus on semantics but on the suffering endured by some at the pleasure, comfort, and material gain of others.
