"In a system regulated by law starting in 1838, settler families and entrepreneurs incorporated impoverished Africans, typically with the promise of educating and ‘civilizing’ them. In exchange, these mostly children and teenagers worked in settler households and enterprises. … credible critics alleged that apprenticeship was simply a cover for involuntary, unpaid labor." This system was termed slavery by settler Payton Skipwith (1834) and Pennsylvanian visitor William Nesbit (1853), but some disagreed with that characterization.
