add to cart   close window

The article throws light on the aspect of slavery and forced labor. The U.S. was one of the last of the great Powers to stamp out the institution of slavery. For the most part, slavery in outright form exists only in the border regions of the world, so far removed from centers of Western civilization that it is difficult if not impossible to obtain full particulars in regard to the institution. There are, however, a number of practices, hovering between complete freedom of contract and abject slavery, which constitute one form or another of involuntary servitude. Among such practices are peonage and compulsory, or indentured, labor.
