Indeed, that was the American experience that the white men had, and they talked about it and wrote about it at length. Except for the Irish, and the Polacks, and the Jews. A good 40% of the country were self-made men and by God, their worth was everything that they had built. Built often using the labor of those not-self-made people.

It was always a prime concern of everyone other than the white men; we have only just now noticed it.
