it took an entire fucking war to end slavery in the United States.
Well… how’s that going?
Well I mean, slavery is still illegal. Black people are able to vote, hold office, own property, etc.
There’s still a lot of social injustice to solve but there’s been a lot of progress, albeit slow.
The lesson is to not take your boot off of the vanquished evil.
A hell of a lot better than before that’s for sure.
if you confused about slavery legality in the united states, slavery is illegal.
hope this helps you.

It’s still kinda legal, just takes some extra steps and signatures, and a bribed judge - of which there are many.
That’s also setting aside people that are effectively slaves to low wages, unable to do anything but work with no chance for upward mobility.
good point.
