Different world from that of my youth nowadays ......... the entrepreneurs sold the working class down the river ....... to borrow a phrase from the Antebellum South. Killed the goose that laid the golden egg for the many to split the leavings amongst the few. Originally Posted by S0LITARYS0LDIER

Antebellum is Latin for 'before war'. So it refers to the time before the American civil war in this instance because of 'South'. Originally Posted by S0LITARYS0LDIER

Now that you're in college take a history class. I finished 8th grade ...... (laughing with you, not at you)
