The 13th amendment, which bans slavery, made people less free? We had more slavery before the 13th amendment. What we have now is fewer slaves that most don't think of as slaves but are still slaves we just call it prison work programs.
Go read it again; the word "except" is doing the heavy lifting here.
"The 13th amendment created the legal groundwork for transforming a free people into a nation of de facto chattel slaves. Reagan accelerated this process massively.
