Most people would say hurray and hosannah. Unfortunately it did not really turn out that way. They were not owned. Their employers had no reason to keep them healthy: they could easily be replaced.

And they still couldn't vote (at first), nor could they have state or federal congressional membership at first.
If you think this is a good answer, could you give me a Brainly or at least tell me how you could if you wanted to.
