Slavery is when somebody is held against their will to perform labor related tasks. In this country (US) slavery is a huge ugly mark on our history but is as ancient as the bible and still exists today. Slavery of today is a huge industry.
…Human trafficking is the fastest-growing criminal industry in the world,[4] with the total annual revenue for trafficking in persons estimated to be between USD$5 billion and $9 billion.[5] The Council of Europe states, “People trafficking has reached epidemic proportions over the past decade, with a global annual market of about $42.5 billion.”[6][7] Trafficking victims typically are recruited using coercion, deception, fraud, the abuse of power, or outright abduction…]-WIKIPEDIA
As Americans we support slavery when we buy many of the sneakers, shoes, and clothing that is sold by some of the largest brand on trhe market. Nike for instance is notorious for using child labor driven sweat shops to produce their sneakers for pennies on the dollar of what their products are actually sold for.
