nobody............... i want slaves i pay someone to kidnap a bunch of black people and i make them work on my farm, or mine, or feild or whatever i sell the shit they make buy more slaves or guns or torture devices too make sure my current laves don't leave etc etc ..............no voting system needed............. government did free the slaves if that's what you mean

You understand historically, the government set up the legal apparatus to trade and own slaves, and also offer incentive to those to own or return slaves back to their master. The less than scrupulous private land owners that traded in flesh, was all made possible by the state's enforcement.

In a free society that would violate the the non aggression principle, you are aggressing against someone and are subject to the consequences that comes with that.

Not to mention, owning slaves is incredibly under productive. A) All the slaves resent you and your employees. B) They will only do what is necessary to not be whipped, half assed job. C) They require constant supervision and management, since they have zero incentive other than avoiding the whip. D) You need to pay for their shelter and food, and water. This came at a huge bill for slave owners,

it is much more profitable if you do the morally correct thing and employ someone voluntary, since they will self manage, pay for their own food and shelter, don't resent you, have a vested incentive to a good job and make sure your company does not fail.

Only a mad man would want a team of slaves rather than voluntary workers.
The only freedom, is freedom from illusion.
