OneTV plays the Roots series every so often and towards the end of the original set 1977 after the civil war the Southern Farmers come up a with sharecropping and some more evil ones come up with the idea keeping the ex-slaves prisoners of debt by paying them less than what they were charging them so they had to remain and live and work the same farms forever, as slaves.
For fear of jail.
This idea is similar.
