而从重建那天开始
from day one of Reconstruction, all the way through,

南方白人的首要目标就是
was to try to sustain what they most needed, what whites most needed,

试图维持他们最需要的白人最需要的
which was a landless, dependent, agricultural labor force that would stay put.

If you learned about indentured servitude in the past,

如果你了解18世纪的

in all the colonies there were always something called freedom dues.

就会知道所有殖民地都有所谓的自由收益
