Özet
 White Cargo is the forgotten story of the thousands of Britons who lived and died in bondage in Britain’s American colonies.

In the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, more than 300,000 white people were shipped to America as slaves. Urchins were swept up from London’s streets to labor in the tobacco fields, where life expectancy was no more than two years. Brothels were raided to provide “breeders” for Virginia. Hopeful migrants were duped into signing as indentured servants, unaware they would become personal property who could be bought, sold, and even gambled away. Transported convicts were paraded for sale like livestock.

Drawing on letters crying for help, diaries, and court and government archives, Don Jordan and Michael Walsh demonstrate that the brutalities usually associated with black slavery alone were perpetrated on whites throughout British rule. The trade ended with American independence, but the British still tried to sell convicts in their former colonies, which prompted one of the most audacious plots in Anglo-American history.

This is a saga of exploration and cruelty spanning 170 years that has been submerged under the overwhelming memory of black slavery. White Cargo brings the brutal, uncomfortable story to the surface.©2007 Don Jordan and Michael Walsh (P)2019 Tantor Media Inc Büyük Britanya Europe World İngiltere Amerikan Tarihi

Suppressed his- story reveals even more about the current slave masters of today.

A piece of British and American history that provides a better understanding of the hardships of a period, their consideration for their fellows (or lack of it), putting another piece to the puzzle which makes us think of Dickens. We get to see that wasn't exclusive of a period but had been going on for centuries. A very different history of the once told was the Promised land.

Untold history deserving to be known by all

The commercial imperative led owners to exploit white and black people regardless of colour. Indentured servitude was at best temporary slavery for years on end, in horrific conditions , at worst a death sentence.

This is an important book because the extent of white slavery and indentured servants in the New World isn't widely known.
