To Start slavery in any form is immoral and needs to be abolished from every corner of the globe.
I am asking this because I heard somewhere that a big factor for the banning of slavery in these industrialized areas of the world (I.e Britain and the Northern US) was motivated by profits because it was better on profits to have paid workers rather than slaves.
That could also be 100% wrong but if it is true then wouldn’t slave labor bring more profit than a paid worker?

Slave labor only really works for low skill work that requires a lot of hands, like agricultural work such as picking crops or making cheap clothing or mining gems. Things that require a higher degree of skill or that involve expensive machinery are better served by paying wages, because then people are motivated to develop those skills, and demotivated from destroying company property. If a slave tried to damage a crop they probably wouldn’t cause too much damage before they were stopped unless they involved a large group of other slaves, but a single employee could cause severe and permanent damage to an expensive piece of factory machinery in seconds if they were so motivated.
