Yea, the reason slavery is lesser now is because we fucking fought a war over making it overtly illegal… You’d have to be a moron to think it wouldn’t be around today in the US without the civil war.
There’s lots of countries that ended slavery without a war. Some via external diplomatic pressure, some via internal societal pressure.
As far as I understand it (I’m not a historian or American) the confederacy being economically weaker than the union was a significant factor in the civil war.

You’re right, but that just shows how shitty the US, and humanity as a whole, still is.
People wanting to be lazy fucks exploiting others is older than history.
That doesn’t magically make slavery unprofitable: It’s VERY profitable to the douchebags exploiting it! Zero labor for profit? Are you insane?!
The selling point from a mindless shitstain perspective is obvious.
