For people in modern times to be formal “slaves” (as we know the term from American history) the laws and law enforcement would be needed to make this happen and stay happening. And, of course, that is not true in most places anymore; people are not formally “property” and courts don’t enforce such things, in most places. However, de facto slavery is still very much around in this world – and this nation: Millions of people are in sex slavery, forced labor, and much more – like prisons in the U.S. Today, when we go Beyond The Norm, slavery never went away – but it did evolve.
