Does it make a difference whether we are discussing people of color who were considered indentures and not slaves and does this also include those who were people of color who were free as early as the late 1600s? Also, what about those who fit the FPOC description in states such as VA and NC? Some of those families were not slaves, but were indentured servants. Also what about those who were people of color who came to the colonies as servants? Also how does the early Native American population fit into this description?
