Original Note:
Many people emigrated from Ireland to the Americas as indentured servants in the 17th and 18th centuries. They had legal rights and weren't considered property, unlike Black slaves. Also, indentured servitude was neither hereditary nor lifelong. https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/irish-slaves-early-america/
