Cute that you think that. Try reading the 14th Amendment to the US Constitution sometime. You’ll find that the USA did not abolish slavery. We just institutionalized it into the penal system. Look up some of the jobs performed by the inmates of the Louisiana state correctional system and then tell me slavery has been abolished.
