Isnt the American tipping culture for restaurants traced back to the abolishment of slavery?

Slavery was never actually abolished in the USA. Go read the 13th Amendment...

And it was in the last mid term elections, I believe 5 states voted on the subject and 1 decided to keep it for jails inmates. Really is a case of “do as I say and not as I do”.

Pardon for the curiosity, I like to know then...so technically the United States can still own black slaves and have them work on cotton farms like in the past?

The 13th Amendment's abolishment of slavery contains a HUGE exception for prisoners. There's a reason why most of the USA's prison population is black...
