Regarding involuntary servitude in the United States:

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Africans were first sold in the United States in 1619, over a century after Columbus "discovered" America. While indentured servitude of White Europeans was common in the early years of the colonies, it largely died out by the early 18th century, while the practice of African slavery continued to grow. The correct statement is that both Africans and Whites were held as indentured servants during the early years of the colonies, but only Africans were held in involuntary servitude (i.e. slavery) for centuries afterwards, until the 13th Amendment abolished slavery in 1865. Therefore, option B is the only accurate statement.
