There has always been constant conflict between debtors (farmers) and creditors (banks).  Debtor’s prison:  understand the financial motivation for it.  It’s wrong, but understand why it existed. See both sides of every dispute.  Put yourself back at that time.  Think of what it must have been like.  Imagine it.  See both sides of the Boston Massacre, for example.  What were British soldiers doing there???  Maybe it was reasonable to object to their presence.
