So when I last made this post, I got some pretty debby downer responses. People going on about the unrealism of my question. I did get one good answer but I wanna widen my perspective. But I say: this is an alt history. Of course there can be things that are historically incorrect!
Anyway. I wanna know your thoughts on how slavery would look in the year 1970. I donāt care if you song think it would have survived. In the lore I have. Obviously like plantations would have shrunk and no need for hundreds of slaves. However. I wanna know what else I could use slaves for.
Furthermore. What would the life of slaves me in an America that never federally got rid of slavery? See, in this timeline the south never secedes because of the Corwin Amendment. The Corwin Amendment makes it constitutionally impossible to ban slavery.
So even if slavery isnāt super common. Itās still legal. Which means at least one or two people still own slaves. So what form would modern slavery take?
And no Iām not a pariah state. The other players who are running various countries have said itās a āpeculiar practiceā. However our military strength mixed with trade potential keeps us off the chopping block. We are not a pariah.
