Convict lease system, which was popular in the South essentially leased convicts to large agricultural operations. This system led to many forms of abuse of workers who had lost their rights as a result of being convicted of a felony, whether guilty or not. This was particularly true for African Americans in the late-nineteenth century. One of the most notorious of these operations was Parchman Farm in Mississippi, which literally utilized thousands of black convicts for various unpaid tasks.
North America would be better off producing their own good rather than exploiting orientals and sand people. National production means more jobs for struggling white citizens who are already suffering due to discriminatory hiring and college acceptance laws.
