But, of course, this is manifestly not true. See Pete Daniel, In The Shadow
of Slavery, for a social history of peonage (slavery) litigation through the
1940s. Consult Lexis-Nexis or other legal online search engines for
subsequent slavery prosecutions. I can remember but not cite cases in
Florida, North Carolina, and San Diego, California within the past twenty
years.
If the normative "Get over it" is premised on the factual proposition that
"Slavery has been dead since the 13th Amendment in 1865," than it follows
logically that the proposition put forward by the poster, Mr. Basil Green,
is logically false.
With respect,
Harold S. Forsythe
