An interesting note on slavery prior to Bacon's Rebellion.


In addition to indenture servitude, slaves in Virginia were taken from the native population. The number of Native American slaves outnumbered those of African descent for quite some time. FWIW, slavery among Native Americans predated the founding of Jamestown in 1607.
