Not so fun fact: the constitution allows for slavery as long as it's a punishment for a crime.
Hmmm... Nah, those dots don't connect at all.
And many plantations converted to prisons that are still in operation to this day.

And some states use prison labor to staff the governor's mansion with butlers.
