Reflevant : A Servant Contrivant

“Indentured servitude declined over the century, and most of these domestic servants were now either free women or slave women” (Coryell, pg. 104). Those who worked in a servitude role were indentured servants, who had the ability to work a number of service years in order to earn their freedom and they would be given a small plot of land, afterwards, to continue to thrive.

In 1829 an editor had occasion to use the word boss, and followed it with an asterisk. “A foreman or master workman,” he explained. “Of modern coinage, we believe.” Master artisans were starting to move away from having a life connected with their journeymen.

Prior to his appointment as the Secretary of Veterans Affairs (SECVA) Robert (Bob) McDonald was already well-known for his advocacy and promotion of the concept of “Servant Leadership” a term first coined by Robert K.

This is once again seen in the Orator, where the master genuinely believes that it is his right to own the slave as he states “I did not take it away. You were a slave when I fairy purchased you” when the slave tells him he took his freedom, and when the slave asks whether he gave consent to the purchase he states “You had no consent to give. You had already lost the right of disposing of yourself.” As stated by Shakespeare: Power corrupts, absolute power corrupts
