The Second Amendment was Ratified to Preserve Slavery:Southern Slave patrols

31. .....

What is said is that the 2nd was revised so that slave owners could not be stopped from mistreating slaves.

And even that's a stretch. Yes, it can be said that some slave owners may have used the 2A as an excuse for putting down slave strikes, but in all honesty, there's really nothing plausible, in the proper context, that suggests that it was part of the Founders' intent.

With that said, though, you are actually quite correct on this: Working-class white people, too, did indeed suffer wage depression, Southerners above all, and that the cycle has continued to the present day, just with peasants in Chinese, Latin American, etc. factories instead of African-Americans on plantations, as the slaves of the modern era.
