I'm asking because I frequently see that on here, and I haven't really seen any sources that make it look likely.
What would be impact of white slavery be if it did happen? Would it be debtors slavery, indentured servitude, or a criminal punishment. I have to assume branding would be part of it, or else it would be too easy to escape.
Edit: just realized I posted in after-1900 when I meant to post in before. Please move.
