I never thought slavery ended over night, it's just common sense. I'm sure the people who owned slaves just didn't start handing out job applications after the war was over, they probably just kept it going as long as they could but until 1945 damn!
the title is misleading
slavery is going on today
It has evolved and taken on different names but it is still slavery.
We have employees making hundreds and thousands while employers make millions and billions.
Proportionately speaking it was the same back in the day the slave master would make hundreds and thousands while the slaves made 0
Then there was the sharecropping phase
It went on till now
Also we always have a prison system.
