They do chain them up and work them, they just don't pick cotton anymore, they build military equipment, staff call centers, and build furniture, producing products worth $11B a year with no pay[^1].
[^1]: Before someone says "but they do get paid!", no, they do not. Not only is the minimum wage ($7.25) already unliveable, they make only about 13 to 52 cents an hour. Some states literally don't pay them at all. And those that do: that's not pay, that's legal loophole games. And that 13 cents an hour? Most of it goes to "taxes, room and board expenses, and court costs". That's right, they have to pay to be slaves.
