    You didn’t ask what prevents chattel slavery now. That would be the laws passed by victorious abolitionists. You asked why it happened in the past. It happened in the past because it had always existed and nobody had put a stop to it yet.

      It’s still happens, in the world.

        Are you trying to be difficult? Your original post was about the US. Every reply you make you change the context.
