The southern states were plantation states, consisting of large work forces of African-Americans who were brought over to North America by slave-traders. The slaves were either purchased from tribes who had captured enemy tribesman after battling, or captured by force. At the time a work force of slaves was the primary means for planting, growing, and harvesting crops. This method was used commonly before the invention of engines and farming machinery that could easily and more cost effectively work more efficiently than the slaves. Slaves were a part of the southern economy, even with effort to free them by the northern states, the practice of slavery would have expired on its own with more superior inventions and methods.
AnswerObviously the above answer does NOT take into account that SLAVES are still held against their will in many places in Africa, today. Examples are in The Sudan, Eritrea, Lagos, and Nigeria. Modern day slaves are just as abused as the blacks were in the 1800's in the USA.
Sex slaves are bought and sold in many parts of the world, where rich men buy girls for their personal use.
So yes slavery still exists in 2009.
AnswerThat's because the question was not asked about slavery in Sudan, Eritrea, Lagos or Nigeria, nor in Asia; but of slavery in the American South. The first answer adequately addresses the call of the question.
