What is the difference between African slavery and European indentured servitude?

Slaves are owned by another person. Indentured servants signed a 7 year contract to work for that time and pay back the cost of the trip to the colonies. Actually, there are still people today who come here as indentured servants. In CA we have sheepherders that come to work here as indentured servants.Indentured service lasted until the debt was paid off. Slavery was for life.Indentured service was treated as a debt with the penalties administered according to debt law. Slavery classified human beings as chattel with no legal rights or recourse.An indentured servant worked for the person that paid his passage. This would take three or more years. After the debt was paid, that person was free to do what he wanted. This was common in colonial America. A slave was different because the owner kept the slave for life and owned all children of the slave as well.An indentured servant would work for a specific time, maybe 7 years, to pay off a debt. In most cases, slavery is for life.The primary difference between indentured servants and people enslaved from Africa was freedom. Indentured servants were indebted to their masters to work and do their bidding for a temporary period of time. In most cases, indentured servants knew ahead of time how long they would be servants. At the end of that period the master was obligated to set the slave free. Indentured slaves also had rights, they could marry and even buy their way out of slavery.Slaves who were captured and sold during the Transatlantic Slave Trade were bought and sold and classified by law as property. This is known as chattel slavery, and slaves who were subject to this form of slavery were condemned to a lifetime of slavery with no possible chance of being set free. In some rare instances slave owners granted their slaves freedom as a dying wish but this was rare. It is said that Thomas Jefferson who owned slaves requested in his will that his slaves and their children be set free. It was later discovered that Thomas Jefferson had fathered the children of his slave.Chattel slavery was deeping dehumanizing and there have been no recorded incidents of chattel slavery being practiced other than during this dark period.
