The real reason for the "end" of Slavery was an economic one; slaves cost money to house, feed, cloth and guard. Capitalism solved this problem for the owners by making the slaves have to house, feed, cloth and guard themselves, thus, maximizing profit.

How about protecting voting rights.

There is NO current law nor proposed law that restricts a person's right to vote. These histrionics about presenting an ID when you vote are nothing more than partisan propaganda.
