Society doesn't seem to be getting much on their investment.
In 1861 this country had a 4 yr bloody civil war, one of the reasons was to "free" the slaves and have forced labor slavery to be abolished. This was done at much cost. Now 160 yrs later, the slaves are creating a civil war in order to enslave others who are "free".
