If we take a look back to slave times and examine the living conditions of the British lower classes it is easy to see that for many the life that they lived was as bad or worse than a black slave's life.
The slave was treated as an expensive commodity so was fed and housed and unless a field hand in the sugar plantations to a certain extent was taken care of. Breeding was encouraged as it increased slave stocks.
The British peasant on the other hand did not have this status, he had no value except to provide as much as possible for the Lord of the manor whilst trying to survive harsh winters with very little food.
The difference between Black slave and White British * was Freedom. But freedom to do what?
