another thing, I don't know why you would think that the coolies had more privileges than the slaves, when coolies arrived in Guyana, they africans were already rebelling, therefore, they had some sort of power,  i think by then white man gain somoe knowledge to implement the golden rule of a  5 year contract, but don't let the 5 year contrat fool you,  Im pretty sure the same policies applied to them as if though they were slaves... remember we had the masters and another tribe to deal with... coolies were probably the bottom feeders...

Somewhat accurate.  But unlike the African slaves, the British let the coolies keep their religious and cultural practices.  They were not outlawed.
