Anyone read/reading People's History of the United States of America? [View all]

I'm reading it and I am on the part where they talk about how the rich landholders were worried about poor whites combining forces with the Natives and African Americans.

It's really enlightening to see how the ruling elite made huge efforts to maintain their status at the expense of African Americans and Natives.
