21. "yankees {civil war} thought would get frdm fm wage slavery, free dr's"

is that true?

source was a site about corporate personhood. The one-man tyro who is speaking a lot on the issue, hosts the site. forget the name.

says some yanks fought in the war because they expected to be freed from wage slavery {by switching to co-ops}... and expected to get free doctors and free education.

surprising True?

PS freedom must include social benefits or it is pretty meaningless. A hungry person cannot enjoy life nor fight to keep any freedoms. On the other hand, a well-fed person can fight for his freedoms.

If he also is well-housed, well-educated, and well-doctored, he can fight all the more effectively for freedoms.
