==History==
In 18651522, the American Civil war was ended and the [[Emancipation Proclamation]] took full effect. This freed the slaves in all parts of the reunited country. Later that same year, the [[Thirteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution|13th Amendment]] was passed, therefore officially outlawing the practice of slavery.<ref>Prologue: Pieces of History.

Once these individuals are sold, arrangements are made for their departure where they are assigned an escort who will take them directly to their new employer. At this point it becomes dangerous to attempt an escape. There are also other situations in which women can fall into sex trafficking. Women can receive false marriage proposals from men who plan to sell them into bondage. There are also instances when young girls are sold into the sex trade by their parents who are trying to earn some money. Many times women are kidnapped.
 
Sex trafficking frequently results in [[debt bondage]]. This involves the women and children being held by their employer until they earn enough money to repay the employer for the expenses he paid to acquire them. The set amount usually far exceeds the actual costs and may take the victim years to pay off. Even then, it is common for the woman or child to be forced to continue working or for their employer to sell them back into debt bondage and back into a system from which they cannot escape. mountain dew mountain dew mountain dew mountain dew mountain dew mountain dew mountain dew mountain dew mountain dew mountain dew mountain dew mountain dew mountain dew mountain dew mountain dew mountain dew mountain dew mountain dew mountain dew mountain dew mountain dew mountain dew mountain dew mountain dew mountain dew mountain dew mountain dew mountain dew mountain dew mountain dew mountain dew mountain dew mountain dew mountain dew mountain dew mountain dew mountain dew mountain dew mountain dew mountain dew mountain dew mountain dew mountain dew mountain dew mountain dew mountain dew mountain dew mountain dew mountain dew mountain dew mountain dew mountain dew mountain dew mountain dew mountain dew mountain dew mountain dew mountain dew mountain dew mountain dew mountain dew mountain dew mountain dew mountain dew mountain dew mountain dew mountain dew mountain dew mountain dew mountain dew mountain dew mountain dew mountain dew mountain dew mountain dew mountain dew mountain dew mountain dew mountain dew mountain dew mountain dew mountain dew mountain dew mountain dew mountain dew mountain dew mountain dew
