An important economic feature of the early 20th century south was peonage, or debt peonage. Plantation owners held laborers in debt, and forced them to remain on the premises to work off their debt, often by violence or intimidation. The system functioned as a kind of substitute for the antebellum slave system. Collection comprises the peonage files of the Justice Department from 1901 to 1945, including complaints to the department from local US attorneys, private individuals, and organizations such as the NAACP; internal legal memoranda, depositions by witnesses, briefs, trial transcripts; and investigations conducted by the FBI. Peonage was also a feature of industries as well, and the collection provides information on many features of the economic history of the South, especially wages, labor conditions, and labor recruitment.
