The US specifically outlawed slavery except among prisoners. The US also operates prison labor at very low rates.
I'm not sure this is a meaningful point of differentiation.

US corporations benefit today from slave labor by people housed in for-profit prisons where there are incentives to over-prosecute brown and poor people. These include, but aren't limited to:
- Aramark
- Avis
- IBM
- JCPenney
- Kmart
- McDonald's
- Nintendo
- Sprint
- Starbucks
- Verizon
- Walmart
- Wendy's
- Whole Foods/Amazon
