Charlie,
you never know if your ancestors were from noble family or not. Many of noble families who lived on the territory of today Slovakia were not "rich bad people" as we know it from books and stories. Many of these noble families were the people like most of others who lived in the villages, even some of them were poor.
I know it because I have such ancestors from mothers line. And I know many of people think the same way as you about noble families, but they would be surprised that many of them have the ancestors in some line just from noble family.
The history is not black and white, it has many colours. And the reasons why people had to leave for America, were more about the whole bad situation in the country, not only about bad noble employers.
