White Slavery: Is it Worse?

George Fitzhugh makes a point that makes me think about the capitalist world by comparing it to slavery. While he states that "the negro slaves of the south are the happiest, and in some sense, the freest people in the world" (pg. 2) he shows the reader how whites a the true slaves. He makes me ponder in the fact that the capitalist system is truly a form of slavery hidden in between the lines. Having rights and the ability to work for a payment makes things different, because they have to work to survive. Whereas slavery has the same concept of working to survive, the situations are much different. He opened my eyes to the unfairness of the world, and how people perceive our current system, a much more fair than old plain slavery.
