Wait a minute. Were they really “expelled”?
Or did they pack up and move to the cities hoping for a better life?
It would be interesting to see if the the Left’s New Society legislation had any effect on the racial makeup of the farming community.

Exactly.
They knew first hand how hard it was to work the land and the risks involved in it. The industrial revolution was kicking off and offering a lot more secure money for workers than any farming effort would have provided at the time. They voluntarily left in droves for those new jobs.
This crap is just like reparations....they really have no legitimate claim.
And anyone who supports, or falls for this line of BS, is ignorant and utterly stupid.
Were they really “expelled”?
There are always vultures hanging around the Court House looking for land that people have failed to pay their real estate taxes on. The courts often have auctions of tax delinquent land for sale.

DING DING DING!!!
Ladies and gents we have a winner!
The black kids wanted NOTHING to do with farming. They left the farms for jobs in factories making more in five years than their parents made in twenty on the farm.
A lot of white kids did the same but the number of blacks leaving the farm was much higher.
