    How is that different from current slaves? Attitude of the general population? Doesn’t seem to make much practical difference.

        Again, that makes little to no practical difference to the slave, they’re getting abused just the same.

          Point to the time where prisoners in the U.S. were stacked up on boats and shipped across the Atlantic for months at a time.

          You don’t see prisoners treated like cargo here. Don’t get me wrong, they aren’t treated well, but there are certain factors here that I don’t think you’re considering.
