041 Housekeeping - Domestic Labor Before 1660
from The History of American Food · host Margaret Hardin

While there was slavery right from the jump, nearly all the domestic help in the 17th century were actually Indentured Servants. I'm not sure the right lessons were learned.Music Credit: Fingerlympics by Doctor TurtleShow Notes: https://thehistoryofamericanfood.blogspot.com/Email: [email protected] Twitter: @THoAFoodWhen I figure it out - Instagram: @THoAFoodMusic Credit: Fingerlympics by Doctor TurtleShow Notes: https://thehistoryofamericanfood.blogspot.com/Email: TheHistoryofAmericanFood at gmail dot comThreads: @THoAFoodInstagram: @THoAFood& some other socials... @THoAFood
