Note 19 — NEGRO SERVITUDE IN THE UNITED STATES[A]
Reading edition
From the very first, the Indians and Negroes as servants came in contact. Also, there seems to have been a "common bond of union" between Indians and Negroes. Again the colony laws concerning runaway servants generally took care of the Negro and Indian servants in the same act.
