... slavery didn't begin in America ...
Slavery died out in the Christian part of Europe - and it came back in America. So indeed began a new form of slavery in America. I would call this form a "machine minded" slavery.
By the way: Did you ever notice that the modern world very often calls human beings "consumers"? A consumer is part of a machine.
Just FYI, slavery still widely exists, particularly in Asia and Africa.
In the USA, Democrats want to end their own freedom and be slaves to government, it's bizarre
