That negro slavery is not the only one that this country has had to contend against is surprisingly shown in Miss Bournes White Slavery in Colonial Time. -St. Albans Messenger, May 28, 1903

Where white people kept as slaves to work on America colonial platations against their will?

In 1903, Annie Nettelton Bourne (1865-1943) answers this question in her short 12-page work titled White Slavery in Colonial Times, that appeared in the June 1903 issue of New England Magazine.

In introducing her work, Bourne writes:

The negro slave, with his picturesque and touching personality, is a familiar figure. In our pity for him we forget that when the first cargo of blacks reached America in 1619, a large part of the population was formed of imported white bondservants whose history is in some respects more affecting than that of the negroes....White bond-servants were of four classes: convicts, indentured servants, the victims of kidnappers and redemptioners.

About the author:

Annie Nettleton Bourne (1865-1943) was an author or translator of 38 books mainly on history.
