it's not a pleasant topic is it

how can humans be so brutal to their fellow humans, for no other reason except to exploit them?

and there is no one country or race that has a monopoly on brutality

even though the U.S. officially banned slavery in this country after the brutal civil war of 1860-65

defacto slavery existed until the 1930s in some former slave states

"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
