Governments implemented laws and policies that supported various labor systems throughout history. For example, pro-slavery laws in the 1700s in countries such as the United States and Brazil allowed for the existence of slave labor, which benefited the economy but oppressed those who were enslaved. In the 1800s, governments used federal troops to suppress strikes and protests by workers who were demanding better working conditions and higher wages. These actions by governments aimed to maintain control over labor systems and suppress any challenges to the existing order.
