it wasn't. it was reformed into the prison-industrial complex
Best answer, actually.
We should also look at economies as having multiple, competing modes of production, with one usually being dominant.
The US definitely kept slavery in a limited form, and even though a few industries/products/services are produced with prison slave labor, it doesn't come close to the capitalist sector.
