<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ScanticAntiques, post: 56687, member: 339&quot;]Another reason I don&#039;t think it&#039;s imposed, is due to the fact that Barnum basically owned Tom Thumb. He purchased him basically from Tom&#039;s parents. And then Barnum paid Tom an absurd amount of money, (a lot of circus folk were ricccch!) </p><p>He treated Tom almost like a king, because he made Barnum what he was. He lived a pretty cushy life, but it&#039;s pretty much the only choices he unfortunately had at the time.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
