So, I did some research and it seems like there is some weirdness here.
It would seem that there is a difference between indentured servitude and African chattel slavery. The difference appears to be more technical than practical. That being slavery for a minimum of 7 years without permission to sire off spring or marry in that time period unless granted by the master. Doing such without permission would result in the child being born “endentured” and time being added to the father’s sentence. How long th Echols would remain endentured is unknown to me. Some said 12 years or until 30, such would vary based on customs, while another source said that was for native Americans, so take it with a grain of salt.
Irish slavery was particularly bad in the Caribbean apparently. I’m not an expert or historian, just some guy on the Internet researching such. It would seem that, with the exception of the Caribbean, Irish slavery had a light at the end of the tunnel.
Yeah, especially with an emphasis on Democrats causing this when the Democrat party didn't exist for another 200 years
