Slavery does exist today, in many countries in Africa and Asia.
Most of it doesn't look like the plantation slavery of the
antebellum South in America, though some of that does exist,
especially on cocoa plantations in Africa. Slavery today often
consists of women or children sold into slavery as domestic
servants or for prostitution.
Slavery occurs in many modern developed countries, as well as
third world countries. It's mostly known as human trafficking. The
United States, United Kingdom, Mexico, Thailand. Russia, Poland,
China, France. are big contributors to this distributing crime.
it does not happen in america but in other countries, they still
have it because it is free work
Slavery is growing and is still larger than it is ever was
during the transatlantic slavery period. USA was responsible for
massively endorsing one of the biggest attrocities in modern
history. This was based solely on race, and while other countries
played their part, America was one of the last world powers to
criminalise it. USA does seem to forget they were largely
responsible for the most racist travisty in history. Around 12
million slaves died in america alone (twice as many as jews
murdered in WW2). Even though USA is ranked low on the global
slavery index it is still present. No country is exempt from
slavery. It is a massive global issue and one that the USA and
american businesses still encourage by not insisting on slave
labour in the production of purchased materials and goods. It is
thought that 27 million people are currently enslaved globally and
as to why, it is a method of free labour and exploitation for
monetary gain.
