Have you never heard of sharecroppers? Do you think they were all black?

Sounds like instead of mechanization, you want Mexicanation, doing the jobs poor whites won't do.

Have you heard of any white sharecropers prior to 1865? The fact is that sharecropping is the labor system that replaced slavery in the south, functioning as debt slavery or peonage and thus able to trap poor whites as well as poor blacks.
