Also one minor nitpick, slavery is alive and well in the US, it was never abolished. You guys will figure it out some day.
True, it's still very much practiced in US prisons. Should've specified "officially" ig.
Prison slavery is very official. It’s carved out as legal in the constitution, and it is pretty out in the open. The main thing is that we use a bunch of euphemisms to make the slavers and beneficiaries feel less bad about themselves, but they don’t hide it.
