>Exactly when was the last slave in the United States? I don't remember any, nor do my ancestors.


actually it wasn't that long ago

defacto slavery for blacks lasted well into the 1930s, even though technically it was abolished after the Civil War

only after many american Negroes joined and fought for their country against Hitler did they gain a little more respect

"Slavery by Another Name is a 90 minute documentary that challenges one of America's most cherished assumptions: the belief that slavery in this country ended with Abraham Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation of 1863.

Based on the Pulitzer Prize-winning book by Wall Street Journal senior writer Douglas A. Blackmon, the documentary explores the little-known story of the post-Emancipation era and the labor practices and laws that effectively created a new form of slavery in the South that persisted well into the 20th century
