    Don’t forget prison labor slavery, especially in the south. It was specifically added for that very reason.

      And also actual old-fashioned slavery. I’ve read there are more slaves in the world today than there were in the 1700s. Even modern western countries aren’t immune, it’s just more invisible .Sex trafficking is a good chunk of this.
