@QasimRashid The 13 colonies were not beacons of freedom. A very good book that discusses the subject is White Trash by Nancy Isenburg. The king emptied the prisons and enslaved the street people of London as indentured servants, ie slaves, of the colonists. They were called “Rubbish People” in London. THEY built the colonies. Even their offspring were enslaved. It wasn’t just skin color. It was a crime to be too poor and the punishment was a life of slavory.
