[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 5082724, member: 24302"] No, there wasn't. There were eventually outlawed practices of owing money to a company that provided you with food and shelter until your pay came in. People were always behind with their payments and held more or less captive until they paid off their debt. But that was a very small percentage of the population. After the Civil War many blacks were held in place with such practices but that was eventually ended. Coal miners dealt with that a lot. [/QUOTE]
