    No, at the very least they’re called “work camps”. The defining feature is the camp where the slaves / prisoners live. Most dairy farms don’t have masses of people living in squalor and institutionalized rape and enslavement of the resulting children.

    That’s what chattel slavery was. These Americans were literally given life sentences to hard labor without committing any crime. If today we discovered and arrested some freako who had enslaved and raped women, and then enslaved their own resulting children, we would call that person a monster.

    That was common in American society for 200 years.
