They did atleast earlier in the colonization process. They called them "indentured servants."what if colonists brought over white slaves instead of black ones

They tried. Irish indentured servants can't do as well as the Africans could on plantations etc.
Whereas the Irish got the worst of it as usual, I must stress that people from all parts of the British isles were liable for indentured servitude if they got on the wrong side of the prevailing regime.
i think they did try, i saw something on the history channel about the highland clearances, and apparently part of one of the clans were shipped off into slavery in one of the carribean islands, i think it was more then 100 people, all of maybe 4 or 5 actually survived to return to scotland.
Well, the first Spanish colonists brought some of their slave with them to the Caribbeans. Many Africans of course, but also Berbers, Canarians and Bosnian Slavs (very few of course, since Spain wasn't a big buyer of Bosnians). We actually don't know much about their fate, either they died, or were just assimilated into the main settler culture, given that children of slaves were free according to the tradition of the time (since they were born Christian).what if colonists brought over white slaves instead of black ones
