    There being more slaves now then ever is heavily disputed. There is also the fact that was little more than a billion people in the world when the trans-Atlantic slave trade stopped, so there would have to be 8 times as many for slavery to be as prevalent.

      Yes, I agree, our per capita slave figure has to be much lower these days, mathematically speaking.

      Even one slave is a slave too many, and knowing there are still so many (whatever figure we put it at) is heartbreaking.

      Things like the cocoa plantation slaves and the slave fishing ships have people kidnapped and forced to work for nothing. Actual slavery by any definition.
