Caroline May needs to go right back to school in order to understand how to avoid writing false equivalent headlines to sensationalize an issue.

Slavery in the US was partially about money. The meat of the issue of slavery was one of human rights. It doesn't take a history degree to read about the Missouri Compromise to see the enactment of law to deny that certain humans were not, indeed, human. Human beings that are incarcerated, in modern times, are not paid in most cases but no one would deny that prisoners are, indeed, human.

The headline is a journalistic anathema, in my opinion.
