so heather anne thompson has done really important work on this on this on exactly this comparison. so what thomson is that we should understand southern convict leasing practices post-civil war as as as as an adjustment on the pre-civil war practices that originated at auburn. so you could you could she was for her for four for thomson the similarities are much more significant than the differences and there are important differences. southern post-civil war convict leasing is not primary early in factory based manufacturing, for example. so there are really important differences. but thomson's argument is that the similarities in the continuities are more important than the similar than the differences. and i agree with that and what i would also add is that the lines of influence are explicit and direct the post-civil war south was adapting process is that were innovated in the north and i'll go backwards just a moment to say there are these really wonderful books about convict leasing in the post-civil war south and they have produced so much knowledge that is so important and t
