Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from White Servitude in the Colony of Virginia: A Study of the System of Indentured Labor in the American Colonies
The chief interest in the colonial history of America has always centered in the development of political institutions, which, from their importance and endurance, have become of wide significance. For this reason it has been customary to overlook, or to treat as processes subsidiary to the politi cal evolution, many interesting social and economic develop ments, which were of great moment in the history of the colonial period as furnishing the material background of this political development and giving it its distinctive character.
