In every major city in the US, illegal immigrants work as slaves to pay off the thugs who smuggled them into the country. Sometimes the price is a life of prostitution. Sweat shops still abound.

The enslavement of a group of deaf Mexicans discovered in Jackson Heights, NY showed just the tip of the iceberg. Garment workers still toil in the same unsafe conditions that existed before the Triangle Factory Fire.

Slavery even in the US is not History.
