FreeEnslaved MarketsFR, though. We are talking Post-War here. But while enslavement was illegal, they still had the next closest thing for a long time… indentureship through share cropping (debt bondage), forced child “apprenticeship” for orphans, vagrants, and kids they just stole from their parents, and leasing prisoners convicted of such crimes as unemployment, loitering, and changing employers.
Generations after the Civil War, people. 190,000 black children were re-homed and force to work in agriculture or domestic jobs until adulthood. Convict Leasing didn’t end in Alabama intol 1928. Debt bondage wasn’t outlawed federally until 1966 over 100 years later. And only mostly because it had already faded with the mechanization of the Ag industry in the decade or two prior. That is well into the Baby Boomer era. This is still relatively recent history.
