Isn't the United States supposed to be the land of the "free" and home of the brave? Well it isn't anymore!!!! Yes it is true that slavery still exists in the US and that means it can be in your own backyard and that it could be hidden so well that you wouldn't even know it.
Sex trafficking is also a big industry. Slave trade makes and estimate 9billion dollars a year. but you can help in the fight to abolish slavery for good.

Amazing Grace The Movie based on William Wilbertforce:
Amazinggrace must be one of the greatest movies that i have seen. But that is just my opinion on the matter. I suggest you or anyone should get this movie and watch it if you want more depth on the matter of human slavery. That was one of the main ways that Great Britian go their incomes back then in the 1800's. The reason why William Wilberforce was so adamant about this subject is because he went on to the ship the Madagascar and he was changed instantly, because he saw how big the space was and that they were herding the African slaves like cattle!!
The origin on the Amazing Grace was from a guy named John Newton. He was a former slave owner, exporter and shipper of Great Britian. On his ships more than 20,000 people were killed on the journey over to their destination. One instance that William said that there were 600 people aboard the Madagascar when it left and only 200 people actually made it to the place alive, because there were so many diseases on the boat and they were put into a 4ft by 1ft space for each slave! But if you want more understanding on this you should watch the movie.
