Yep, Yankees didn't have plantations and slaves, you'll had the Chinese and Irish and Italians instead, you'll just didn't call them slaves at the time, but they were just as much slaves as the people down on the plantations!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This was the new slavery plan, a diabolical plot by the robber barons, it's actually cheaper then slavery and continued to this day, this is why the right hates unions and free education, with slavery it was quite expensive to buy one let alone enough to run a plantation, you had to house them feed them care for them, yes even healthcare! Then they discovered cheap foreign labor, you don't have to feed them house them or take care of them, and they work for pennies. So now they figured out if they don't educate the populous, and make their lives hopeless, they too will work for cheap, and soon you have a situation where 1% have 90% of the wealth, hopelessness avails and throw in a boogey man, AKA terrorist, to keep the peasants in fear and you have your utopia! well the right wings version of it.
