Poem by James Revel, c. 1680. James Revel was an Englishman convicted of theft and transported to Virginia, where he served fourteen years as an in- dentured servant. Upon returning he published A Poor Unhappy Transported Felon’s Sorrowful Account of His Fourteen Years’ Transportation at Virginia, in America (1680). At last to my new master’s house I came, At the town of Wicocc[o]moco call’d by name, Where my Europian clothes were took from me, Which never after I again could see. A canvas shirt and trowsers then they gave, With a hop-sack frock in which I was to slave: No shoes nor stockings had I for to wear, Nor hat, nor cap, both head and feet were bare. Thus dress’d into the Field I nex[t] must go, Amongst tobacco plants all day to hoe, At day break in the morn our work began, And so held to the setting of the Sun. My fellow slaves were just five Transports more, With eighteen Negroes, which is twenty four . . . We and the Negroes both alike did fare, Of work and food we had an equal share. What aspects of servitude did James Revel object to (source 3)? How did he compare the experiences of ser- vants and slaves?
