Europeans tried to enslave Indians, but the Indians ran away so the Europeans used blacks as slaves.

Americans are lower than animals now. Even worms resist being stepped on, but Americans do nothing about oppression.

Middle class business people tried to create the working class they had back home.

Nothing to do with race. They were happy to take white criminals where available.

Also there was a split in the Indians with a lot of they women being happy to work on farms as they were they ones growing the food in their society any way. That's why so many white people think they are a Cherokee princess. They didn't get enslaved, they got married.
