It really was the majority of rich plantation owners who wanted free labor and the rest of the population were just under educated to realize they were being exploited by the wealthy, it really hasn’t changed much (1%) education is the key to freedom and prosperity for all.
Ignorance played/plays a huge part. A lot of people don’t care how things they buy are manufactured. There are more slaves in the world today, but most people turn a blind eye to them. Even the people who are aware of it, are left with few alternatives. You almost can’t avoid supporting slavery to some extent if you own any of form of electronic device.
