Black employees appear to have had a social position akin to that of white indentured slaves from Europe, who were contractually bound to labor for their owners for certain periods of time.
Black men and women, particularly in New Amsterdam, started to enjoy certain permissions that would later be denied to enslaved blacks in America, despite the fact that their station was that of inferiority that made them amenable to mistreatment by masters.
