Yeah, but now, slaves like that actually have a chance to be rescued by a governmental body, whereas this was actually the total reverse prior to The Civil War.

We both know what I mean, when I say "The Civil War" so, I'd expect that we both know what is meant, when saying Slavery.
There are other words for the situation you discuss, and probably Human Traffiking is a better choice of words, when discussing that kind of thing among Americans.
- iguy 8y agoAgree that, when the context is clearly US, this probably needs to be marked modern-day slavery or something, to distinguish. The problem with human trafficking is that this is frequently used now for the illegal transport of paying customers across a border, which is a different kind of crime.
