A free man who got an #indentured woman pregnant had to work 3 yrs for the woman’s master or provide someone else to do it for him. The woman had to add 2 yrs to her contract. This was in addition to the 1-year penalty for marrying in secret. HowSexGotScrewedUp.com #HistSex
DYK the legislature in 17thC West Indies punished #indentured men as severely as women? A servant man who married another servant w/o permission got his indentures increased by twice the time his wife still owed.
DYK 17thC #Puritans were the only colonists in North America who allowed the #enslaved & #indentured to marry? In other colonies, slaves & servants made marriages amongst themselves. They used rituals such as jumping the broom or laying their blankets side by side.

Yeah, a lot of folks don't get that being #indentured, which was basically what was done then, wasn't the same as #slavery. Still not awesome, but not the same. #Jubilee #DeuteronomicCode #CovenantCode made a huge difference. I seriously think we could take some #FinanceLessons from those aspects 🤔
So…
Can we all just come together and find a hacker to wipe out student loans???

It's a $5.00 gift coupon for the company's cafe on campus. 🙄 🤦♂️

So what is the 🇺🇸 going to do with those 20 million browned skin people being held in "processing" centers, next summer?
Tyson foods, Purdue, Hormel, Horton, KB Homes, Cargill, BASF, Monsanto have all volunteered to help the #MuskAdministration figure it out
#Indentured the word for 2025
