Slavery is awful and we should be doing everything to eradicate it worldwide. We fought one of the bloodiest civil wars to right a wrong. We should be helping the rest of the world eradicate it.

I never understood why democrats and civil rights groups don’t care about ALL slavery and identify politics across the world?  Its sad America was not brought up once in this article. Certainly we would want to save others form it or is that just used for political points?
