To make it not seem like slavery and give them more motivation.
Oh hey, yeah you’re totally not slaves, you can buy your freedom in 25 years, but how many make it that far as well.
Why not pay slaves, the money is all yours and comes right back. So why not in that situation?
Were they free to say no and do something else? You didn’t answer this question.
No, I’m saying they’re trying to make something potentially just as wrong seem okay with a justification, and some people eat it up. They had no other option, that’s by definition slavery still, no matter the “white washing”.
Were they or were they not forced? Why are you avoiding this question?
