KNN0, your psuedo slavery is pretty much share cropping slavery instead of Big Trust control, where people had a chance to survive away from the company and had their basic freedoms. Share-cropping was literally slavery by another name. The southern states had even legally taken away freedoms of blacks at that time.

Big trust Era workers still had their own homes and families that weren't owned by the company. They were just simply labeled as lower class people, and there was a debate like in-show whether it was the company's fault.
