Did you know?
- There are more slaves today than at any time in human history.
- Slaves are cheaper today than they have ever been. In 1860 Texas a slave cost up to $20,000 (adjusted for inflation). Today a slave can be purchased in some places for as little as $90. This makes modern slaves more disposable than ever to slaveholders.
