White Slaves Or The Oppressions Of The Worthy Poor

""White Slaves or The Oppressions of the Worthy Poor"" is a book written by Louis A. Banks that explores the plight of impoverished white people in the United States during the early 20th century. The book describes the harsh living conditions and the exploitation of white workers, particularly women and children, who were forced to work long hours for little pay in factories, mines, and other industries. Banks argues that these white workers were essentially ""slaves"" who were oppressed and exploited by the wealthy elites of society.The book provides a detailed analysis of the economic and social conditions that led to the oppression of white workers, including the lack of government regulations, the rise of industrialization, and the increasing gap between the rich and poor. Banks also explores the role of race in this oppression, arguing that white workers were often pitted against people of color in order to maintain the status quo.Overall, ""White Slaves or The Oppressions of the Worthy Poor"" is a powerful and insightful book that sheds light on an often-overlooked aspect of American history. It provides a compelling argument for the need to address the systemic inequalities that continue to plague our society today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
