From Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. Slavery (also called thralldom) is a form of forced labour in which people are considered to be the property of others. Slaves can be held against their will from the time of their capture, purchase or birth, and deprived of the right to leave, to refuse to work, or to demand wages. In some societies it was legal for an owner to kill a slave; in others it was a crime. Anti-Slavery International define slavery as "forced labour". By this definition, there are around around 27 million people and the society assert that there are more slaves in the world today than at any point in history, more than twice as many as all the African slaves brought to the Americas. However, International Labour Organisation does not equate forced labour with slavery. According to ILO, there are estimated 12 million people around the world still work under coercion in forced labour, slavery and slavery-like practices.[3] Most are debt slaves, largely in South Asia, who are under debt bondage incurred by lenders, sometimes even generations ago. Human trafficking is mostly for prostituting women and children into the sex trade and industry. It is described as "the largest slave trade in history" and is the fastest growing criminal industry, set to outgrow drug trafficking. From Wikipedia under the

In the South (and even more so in the Caribbean), the warm climate allowed for larger, labor intensive crops to flourish. In the North, the colder climate facilitated industrial innovations that required pools of factory labor--i.e., it was cheaper to pay an hourly wage than to take care of slaves. Even before that, the types of farms in the North relied more on machinery than simple manual labor. On a side note--racism did not result from slavery. Racism resulted during the 18th and 19th century, when the concept of "races" emerged from taxonomic scientists.
