Smart fella, your son there

All you people who think that slavery is a thing of the past are sadly mistaken. People trafficking from 3rd to 1st world countries is big business and the trafficked are often forced to work for nothing. Google "modern slavery in" (your country) and learn .

Well, it is still a thing in many areas of the world. Hopefully that's what he meant.

Did your son mean within America or the world in general? Because there are places in the world where it is still around and kicking. Legal and accepted. And Human trafficking makes it possible to be about and kicking in even the countries where it is supposedly outlawed. Like Europe, and America... If your son meant the world or/and illegal slavery he asked a very broad question.

Sex slaves, child slaves, working slaves? Still large in many Asian, African, and European countries, as well as U.S.

At least he knows what 'abolished' means

why? is he's birthday coming up?

Was he specifically speaking about US slavery? Because there is still slavery in the world.

Well the 13th Amendment didn't become officially ratified in Mississippi until this year due to a "technical oversight," sooo...

He needs to go back to school.
