The Draft.
Forced labor continued after the Civil War primarily due to the systemic racism and economic exploitation entrenched in Southern society. The Black Codes enacted by Southern states sought to maintain control over the newly freed African American population, effectively reestablishing a form of servitude through legal loopholes and exploitative labor contracts. Additionally, the sharecropping system emerged, which, while ostensibly offering autonomy, often trapped Black farmers in cycles of debt and dependency, perpetuating forced labor conditions. Thus, despite the formal abolition of slavery, many African Americans found themselves in situations that mirrored slavery's oppressive structures.
