Slavery does exist today, in many countries in Africa and Asia. Most of it doesn't look like the plantation slavery of the antebellum South in America, though some of that does exist, especially on cocoa plantations in Africa. Slavery today often consists of women or children sold into slavery as domestic servants or for prostitution.
Slavery occurs in many modern developed countries, as well as third world countries. It's mostly known as human trafficking. The United States, United Kingdom, Mexico, Thailand. Russia, Poland, China, France. are big contributors to this distributing crime.
it does not happen in america but in other countries, they still have it because it is free work
Slavery is growing and is still larger than it is ever was during the transatlantic slavery period. USA was responsible for massively endorsing one of the biggest attrocities in modern history. This was based solely on race, and while other countries played their part, America was one of the last world powers to criminalise it. USA does seem to forget they were largely responsible for the most racist travisty in history. Around 12 million slaves died in america alone (twice as many as jews murdered in WW2). Even though USA is ranked low on the global slavery index it is still present. No country is exempt from slavery. It is a massive global issue and one that the USA and american businesses still encourage by not insisting on slave labour in the production of purchased materials and goods. It is thought that 27 million people are currently enslaved globally and as to why, it is a method of free labour and exploitation for monetary gain.
Yes slavery still exists in the U.S. Contrary to a popular misconception, Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation did not free any slaves at all. The speech called for the freedom of slaves only in the Confederate states, which he did not at the time have jurisdiction over; it did not affect at all the states he did: Maryland, Kentucky and Missouri continued slavery until past 1864. All states in the U.S. had outlawed slavery by 1870. A report by the C.I.A. stated that as of 2000, over 50,000 people every year are sold into or traded into slavery. A very small portion of these were domestic servants, but the majority are sold into the drug cartel or prostitution rings and brothels. It is an ever growing problem, but because no single political party or group any longer has an interest in keeping or erradicating it, it has gone largely unbridled. As of 2000, the state department has tried under 300 cases on this topic.
Second opinion. The answer above does not relate to the institution of slavery commonly associated with Antebellum America.
Yes in Middle East countries
Unfortunately, the inhumane and cruel act of slavery still exists. Even after countlesss attempts to douse the flame, the spark remained. Today, there are over 27 million slaves.

Slavery does still exist in certain parts of the world. You can do a search for 21st century slavery or human trafficking.
In the civil war slaves were still slaves but still, they were with the enemy and were as such treated as the enemy.
Slavery exist because people are too lazy to do stuff, and people become slaves by being bullied, and push around.
