Man-stealing was never advocated by God. That's what slavery was in America.

advocated might have been the wrong term.... acknowledged might be more accurate. The fact is, there were slaves all through history... and ALL slavery is man-stealing, in one form or another. I don't know of anyone that volunteered to become a slave.

Indentured servitude is a different thing.... many times it IS done with the servant's permission. Sometimes it was a penalty for crimes committed... I've read many articles that say that indentured servants in the US were treated worse than slaves were.... slaves were bought, so most slave masters did not want to unduly damage their "property". Indentured servants were not paid for by the masters, so they really did not care about the welfare of the servants...

I'm certainly not an expert on this topic, but I have read some on it....

I have ancestors who achieved passage to America by being indentured to serve a landowner here.

I remember long, long ago in a chat room far, far away, there was this one Australian woman who was almost a conversational Jiu-Jitsu master. No matter what the topic was, she would turn it into griping about how mistreated the Aborigines were.

You’re quite the conversational Jiu-Jitsu master yourself. Here I am griping about Cajuns and then you’re totally flipping the conversation over to something else!😂

Yep, sure is. And when this debacle comes to an end I’m going to start whining about how things are for us Cajuns here in America.

There was indentured servitude in scripture . It was a means of paying debts.

Slavery though was also in scripture. Every race has been enslaved at one time or other in history. And it continues to this day.

Barbaric slavery,the owning of another human being.

America has done Some things to right the wrong but IMO America never truly repented for this the way a man/women repents when they do an alter call and someone comes up to repent,but America repents by a little something here and a little something there,now stop complaining because we made you equal.

IMO that's not repentance from the heart but repentance in word.

In the last five years, people who are enslaved grow by 10 million. For a global total of around 50 million. There's no country where people are not enslaved right now.
