Hate to say it but, Lincoln did not "free" the slaves. With the passing of the 14th Amendment, a new form of slavery was created for people of all skin colors. Debt slavery. Slavery never went away. They just replaced the whip-cracks with debt/bills, which keep the hamsters on their wheels. I sure hope I do not have to elaborate further. Decentralization has not put an end to it, either, it has just created a pyramid within the pyramid. Slavery will not end until all labor is automated and abundance is created in a sustainable way as to no longer have a need for money/currency. Have a good one!
