[QUOTE="SoldierOfTheKing, post: 62146321, member: 136506"] In the sense that it can't be done by simple legal fiat, yes. The more advance countries managed to accomplish it not much later, though, largely due to the organizing of labor. Not necessarily. The eight hour day and the weekend had been won the unions well before the end of Jim Crow. Wages slavery has to do with long hours that give the worker little or no personal time, low wages that are barely enough to survive on, and as a further aggravating factor, the dangerous conditions that often existed in 19th century factories. Likewise, share cropping was ended by the mechanization of agriculture, again well before the Civil Rights Movement. Whites in the South during Reconstruction didn't have the vote either. I wouldn't compare that to slavery. Thirteen state governments were "a small group of disgruntled voters"? [/QUOTE]
