White slavery may refer to:

  • Arab slave trade, which involved the enslavement of many European peoples (including Saqaliba), often captured by Barbary pirates from North Africa and some parts of Europe.
  • Sexual slavery, not in reference to the race of the victims (who can be of any race), but to distinguish it from the full-scale, hereditary system of slavery that had been imposed on black people in the Americas.
  • Convicts constituted a significant group of colonists in colonial America and Australia. These were more often treated as indentured servants but with longer periods of servitude.
  • Redlegs, a term used to refer to the class of poor whites that lived on colonial Barbados, St. Vincent, Grenada and a few other Caribbean islands
  • White Slaves (film), the English title for the 1937 German film Weiße Sklaven directed by Karl Anton

European white's were owned by black people in some parts of Africa they were referred to as "lackas" and native Americans owned white slaves too and were referred to as redlegs
