The word "anti-slavery" in the title is misleading. I rejected a "maintaining the status quo of slavery" amendment that might have actually magnified its use in our state.

“The sponsor of the amendment himself, state Rep. Edmond Jordan, a Democrat, ultimately opposed it due to changes in the text that he said would have expanded the state's ability to use slavery or involuntary servitude as a punishment, according to reporting by member station WRKF.” —-> I am from Louisiana and voted against this constitutional amendment for this reason. I wasn’t confused. The amendment was absolute garbage, would not have ended slavery in our state and might have even expanded its use. The title of the article is misleading.
