We've made great strides towards living up to our supposed ideals. That may all fall apart next election though.
"The LIBERALS don't want you to have SLAVES! Are you going to let the LIBERALS tell YOU what to do?"
Friendly reminder that the US hasn’t 100% abolished slavery to this very day. From the 13th Amendment:
“Section 1. Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.
Section 2. Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.”
