Wasn't there something about slavery 'officially' or 'finally' ending, by some quirk or loophole, in 1995? I'd have to Google for the exact details.
There was a recent case in the UK, which abolished slavery about 30 years before the US, where some guys had been kept as slaves for up to 15 years. The UK only made slavery a crime, in the UK, last year.
I guess the reason is until the last decade or so, after the Iron Curtain came down and with an explosion in human trafficking, it wasn't a problem before so no law was needed against it.
I think there's far more slavery/slave trade now in the world, than there has ever been in history.
Slavery was the worst thing to ever happen in America.
It was also the worst thing that happened to Ancient Egypt, Rome, Greece, Mongolia, China, Mesopo-fucking-tamia... and... umm... umm... Great Britain. And every fucking place on the face of the earth. It was not just African Americans who were slaves.
And it continues all around the world to this very day. Right now, there's a twelve year old girl in China who's been away from her family for six months working sixteen hour days making Levi jeans. If she makes the train, she might see her loved ones for Chinese New Year. If she misses it, well, back to the grind little bitch! The first world needs some new pants!
The only country that seems to take any grief about slavery is The United States of America. Why is that? They've almost all participated in the practice.
On topic - The screencap says that the U.S. abolished slavery five years ago. It was a joke. Har-de-har-har-har.
Slavery was the worst thing to ever happen in America.
I thought it was; slaughtering the native americans and forcing the remainder of their peoples to live on small areas of reserved land scattered throughout the US...
We haven't really had slavery in Britain for over 800 years, we had serfs instead.
