ABSTRACT

The Problem of Slavery. Slavery came to be generally identified with Negroes. Public consciousness gradually dimmed respecting its impact upon Indians, to say nothing of white servant classes subject to the more onerous terms of indentureship. A Negro-white syn­ drome replaced recognition of the fact that explorers and settlers, leaders in English, French, and other provinces, and citizens of what became the United States of America, perceived life, its duties, and opportunities in particular ways.
