opportunities. However, because the price of passage was steep, an
estimated one-half or more of the white Europeans who made the voyage

English convicts were shipped across the Atlantic as indentured servants.

Jefferson, as “…that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by
their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are Life,

Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.”
