A man named Peter, who had escaped slavery, reveals his scarred back at a medical examination in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, while joining the Union Army in 1863.

Yup, that's far alright:

    Side note: ICE now has a bigger budget than the FBI, DEA and Bureau of Prisons put together.

    What was the justification for that budget?

    Sorry with all due respect I am curious how this ties to the topic of the post? I feel like I'm missing something.

    We're bringing slavery back. Edit: not that it ever went away. You're allowed to enslave people as punishment under the 13th amendment. Hence the prison industrial complex.

    Right and I agree with that, but unless my client is bugged this post is about technological innovation boom in the 1900s?

    Do just technological innovation? Don't Google this but rockets and turbines and basically whole branches of propulsion, thermodynamics, encryption, flight dynamics, fluid dynamics, computing all had a start in this time frame all related to the old baddy Germany and all might have a rebirth? Not LOL but having all sorts of science groups ignored, refunded and marginalized along with the more personal gender identity, migration status and such, all of that is repeating history.
