What is Slavery by Another Name about?

The document discusses the history of forced labor systems that replaced slavery after the Civil War in the Southern US, including convict leasing, peonage, and debt servitude. These systems exploited loopholes to effectively force thousands of African Americans back into forced labor through unfair laws, fraudulent convictions, and debt contracts they could not escape. Conditions for forced laborers were often terrible. Reforms began in the late 1800s but did not eliminate the abusive practices.
