Lol, is this some of that famous both sides, reaching across the aisle, bipartisanship that's worshipped in Congress?
Also, "path towards ending slavery" is doing a shit ton of lifting here. It took eighty fucking years before it was overturned and in the end it still required fighting the deadliest war in US history before that could be done.
The last US style, chain em up at night and whip em hard R slave was freed in 1942. Recently learned this fact, slavery wasn't actually formerly made illegal till the 20th century, and the law wasn't enforced until an order was given to US prosecutors enforce this law because continuing the practice of slavery was a bad look the enemy would inevitably use in anti-US propaganda.
Couldn't find much details about the case, but from what I can tell, a white father and daughter in rural Texas kidnapped a mentally disabled black man and forced him to work as a slave for some indeterminate amount of years.
Not to mention that the United States was one of the last nations on earth to end the practice of chattel slavery (yes I know about the 13th amendment and neoslavery but table that for a second). The only other nation that had slavery for longer than the U.S. was Brazil I think? Any other nations I'm missing?
