LOL! Point well-made.

More seriously, however, as regards modern-day slavery, you need to know that the United States is on of the top end points in the world for victims of human trafficking.

IOW, what we bled into our own soil to kill off, has returned to us in a far more perverse form that is fast becoming a burgeoning black market industry complete with the accompaniment of an ear-splitting chorus of near-total public ignorance and apathy.

Typical info here:

It didn’t die in 1864.

It didn’t die in 1964.

Perhaps we can commit to seeing it die before 2064?

If not, what will the blood-price be this time? CWII?

The fact that you are even aware of those cases, makes a statement in and of itself. The U.S. does not condone this and seeks to stamp it out. Sentences for those who have facilitated this, are severe.

Sadly, you didn’t mention other places around the world where slavery is not only accepted, but is a thriving business.

I provided links to some of those in 18 if you’re interested.
