When I see some of the mound building projects in the southeast I have to 
wonder if all the people hauling dirt in baskets were free. 

The indigenous tribes were a lot like the Europeans. When Dublin was the 
center of the slave trade in Europe the dealers would head to Wales, 
Britain, Scotland, or the Irish hinterlands to restock. The slaves were 
white but not Norse so they were fair game. If the Mohawks enslaved 
Mohecans it was the same effect. There were no racial differences, only 
ethnic. 

African slavery put a different spin on it.
