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.
