the garments they wore. Others, even less fortunate, came as indentured
servants, having sold their labor for a period of several years to
pay for their passage to the New World. Some, the tragic victims of
an inhumane practice, arrived in the holds of slave ships. But rich
or poor, free or slave, each brought with him some part of the culture
