We, as Americans, decided in 1865 that it was not ok to own other human beings. The history and text of the 13th Amendment can be found here:

That basic notion was, in fact, a large part of the reason for the colonists split from Britain. Many of the founders were against slave ownership in any form, though it was such an ingrained institution at the time they could not prevent its intrusion into the new country and its government. A major component of remaining an unowned individual is the ability to defend ones own person and property, and do so in a manner commensurate with any force likely to be brought against you. Yet the force that has been brought to bear to secure your servitude to the State has not been with arms, but with legislation. The 16th amendment, which in my opinion is in direct conflict with the 13th amendment, has been employed, under the guise of "levelling the playing field", to secure your indenture to the State. As citizens of the United States, you are born as a bondservant....a security against the debt incurred by previous generations. The ratification of the 16th amendment, the establishment of the Federal Reserve bank, and your birth certificate secure your identity as a person to the Federal government. You are not free....as a law abiding citizen, you are indentured. Otherwise, you are a criminal.
