[ Serious question. Obviously slavery is an abomination but I can’t understand how we as a government can’t say, “It’s illegal, period.” ]
Involuntary Slavery is illegal and rightly so because you are violating someone’s inalienable god given rights by anducting them against their will and forcing them to work upon penalty of tourture or death.
Indentured Servatude ie. the Slavery where someone signed a contract to work for someone for X number of years and at the end was released from slavery is “technically legal” even under the constitution.
A lot of people don’t realize there were a LOT of indutured servents from Europe who helped found the country in the 1700’s and 1800’s. They signed up for indentured servatude for a trip across the pond and worked for 5-10 years for that trip.
“Involuntary Slavery is illegal and rightly so because you are violating someone’s inalienable god given rights by anducting them against their will and forcing them to work upon penalty of tourture or death.”
So are you saying involuntary slavery should be illegal across the board because it deals with someone’s inalienable right? If so, that’s what I say about abortion as well and even more so because that always tortures babies to death! I am not convinced it should merely be left up to the states to decide.
