You could hear in the narrator voice that he felt uncomfortable TALKING about SLAVERY!

I grew up in a small New England town, near waterpower and Mr. Milliken bought a factory and created many jobs. He established a small hospital, bowling alley, and day care. These were nice for the 50s. Then the workers formed a union and he offered to take workers who wanted to go ,no union, back down South. Thank you Mr. Millikan you made my childhood nicer!

@@grindle1857 they didn’t own their houses. The same people who owned the factory owned the house and pushed the house prices up to the point you could hardly afford to pay rent. Children spent their childhood in the factory usually deafened by the sound. If you got injured your on the street and off to the workhouse which is a truly horrid place which pretty much surmounted to torture. The average was 14 hour work days 6 days a week all year round.

I from where did the people who worked the mills come from - the countryside where their ancestors had farmed, tenant & owner, for centuries. Not deafening in the country, & you had your own kitchen garden.. This mad-migration always puzzled me - but then I prefer Country to Town..@@frontier_conflict

No mention of the steel mills post antebellum at Birmingham, Alabama, but a good documentary, as a northerner, never heard of --""LINTHEADS" before, very funny!!!, though!!

While exploitation existed throughout the country, it seems to have been the only game in the South. Not a lot of wealth was created from innovation.

The cotton gin made cotton incredibly profitible and also ensured the expansion of slavery from 700,000 in 1790 to 3 million in 1850. Interesting how they never teach that part of the story.

South west miners didn't come from SLAVERY or share cropping (SLAVERY)

Picking cotton on a hot summer day was not easy work. a factory in most places had a roof over it. The sun is relentless. Good for you but relentless. That's for a young man. As you age you can't take that heat. Cotton was a huge export to Britain and other countries. The south in the USA has the best cotton. This is true. They had free labor though. not entirely free but the price of the bought slaves and you had to feed them and take care of them good enough to work hard and produce. there in lies your problem. lol Currency was also a problem in the south. The rail system was not even close to the rail system in the north. that was a huge blow to the civil war in the south. they had the heart but not the means to keep their troops supplied while north railed supplies in and if if their were no rails they laid them.

I think the South would’ve been better off if left an agrarian society. No family should have more land than they could work in a day. That comes to about 40 acres.

The southerner said that they were free agriculturists! Hmm - perhaps but the work was done by those who were not free. Frankly the trouble and ignorance of the South still exists becasue unlike the Revolution, we let these fighters for slavery stay - we should have kicked the whole lot out after the Civil War.

Not much has changed. The robber barons are called Corporations, CEO's and Politicians. We give the majority of our life and productivity to the "Owners" and the government that is run by the "Owners". They, in turn, give us as little as possible but just enough to keep us from rebelling. We seem to be in a new "Gilded Age", such as the 3 billionaire space cadets.
