Well well well

How does slavery effect modern society? Are you talking about slaveries current existence or the past slavery in the States which was abolished?

That the rules that governed slavery AFTER it ended still affect what happens today and how people are treated. The laws passed in the south that prevented black people from voting in the 60's (literacy laws, if you couldn't read, you couldn't vote, and there was an exception for white folks under the pretenses of "if your family was here before 1860 you didn't need to know how to read to vote) Red lining effected the last 2 generations ability to buy a home, which creates generational wealth that allows a person to inherit their parents home when they die (a massive financial advantage). To THIS DAY black people still receive lower estimates on their names than white people in the same area, even the same home (google it). Because schools funding is based on the area they are built minority schools TO THIS DAY receive less funding b/c they were less funded after the civil war and during segregation. This causes lower education levels in those area which causes lower wages.
