This is about prison labor, not historical slavery.
- faintrain 7y agoThe two are very related. You may want to read up on the period of Reconstruction. The southern states moved to use of prisons and sharecropping/terrorism to maintain their hold on cheap labor. There’s too many studies and books on this topic so I won’t post them. Instead, I’d recommend reading more about the parts of American history not called out in your standard high school text books.
