Did you have the impression that slavery was over? Well, unfortunately you were wrong.
Trafficking, sweatshops, prostitution - these are all forms of slavery. Just because you do not see them does not mean that are not there. Here are data showing that slavery is at the peak.

Modern slavery is more commonly known as "human trafficking", but is actually the same thing. Instead of being shipped in large ships huddled like animals, these people are illegal immigrants who can not walk so far from their work, only what their "masters" allow.

Have you watched The 13th? It's a documentary on how the 13th Amendment to the US Constitution is used to perpetuate slavery:
