The fact remains that slavery was a good deal worse than was indenture. You can jump and scream and act like a chimpanzee.
1. Did Indian families risk being torn apart because a slave master wished to sell one of their members? No.
2. Were Indians punished for practicing their culture as African slaves were? No.
3. Were Indians forced to work for no pay as African slaves were? No.
4. When the Indians were allowed access to lands were these lands flooded out as were those that the blacks bought? No.
5. Did the planters collectively refuse to sell Indians land as they did to blacks when they worried that blacks were acquiring "too much" land? No. In fact some even facilitated land acquisitions to encourage them not to return to India.
So cease your rambling nonsense that slavery was better than indenture and that Indians suffered more. Just now you will be screaming that the slaves all received loads of cash when Emancipation Day came.
