Great list!!! I must confess I am guilt of: "This bigot who hasn't watched a single movie featured in Amazon's Women's History Month category". :)

I Make It A Point To Not Watch Much Of It.
I Simply Don't Feel We Owe Anyone For Events In The Past,
Nor Beyond Our Control....My Dad Was From England : Are You Familiar With
"Indentured Servants"?
(~Indentured servitude~)
The world's attitude to slaves and servants at that time held that anyone beneath you was little better than livestock and should be used so, regardless of color...

Like any loan, an indenture could be sold; most masters had to depend on middlemen or ships masters to recruit and transport the workers, so indentureships were commonly sold by such men to planters or others upon the ships arrival. Like slaves, their price went up or down, depending on supply and demand. When the indenture (loan) was paid off, the worker was free but not always in good health or sound of body. Sometimes they might be given a plot of land or a small sum to buy it, but the land was usually poor.
