opportunities. However, because the price of passage was steep, an

estimated one-half or more of the white Europeans who made the

English convicts were shipped across the Atlantic as indentured

Thomas 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.”
