There is still plenty of slavery around, independent of the official chattel slavery that was formally outlawed in the UK and then the US.

The exploitation of drug-addicted teenage girls in some of our Inner Cities is in every way slavery.

Another answer:

Before the Civil War slaves had children. They had lots of children. They were encouraged to have children. The owners made it real easy for female slaves to get pregnant so they would have babies. If a slave owner had a lot of slaves he could sell the excess and make a lot of money.

After the slaves were freed, they liked being able to get married and away from having to breed.
