White Cargo : the Forgotten History of Britain's White Slaves in America
Don Jordan (Author), Michael Walsh (Author)
In the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, 300,000 people or more became slaves there in all but name. Urchins were swept up from London's streets to labour in the tobacco fields. This title offers a saga of exploitation and cruelty spanning 170 years that has been submerged under the overwhelming memory of black slavery.
