That is fucked up.

also Inca and Aztechs were from south america right?

there is also a new form of slavery currently active in the US where immigrants are brought to work and their passports are kept with their "employer" until xyz condition.

so slavery still exists but it is no longer a government policy as it used to be in US

I don't understand how, in the 21st century can we have slaves or bonded labourers. Apalling



People now are the same as people then, just different fashions and widgets.

The 'new form' of slavery you're describing sounds like indentured servitude. Definitely not new to the US (though now illegal)! Benjamin Franklin was indentured for 2 years when he was a teenager to his older brother, and frankly was not a fan of the practice.
