White slavery : White slave trade
White slavery is a 19th century term for a form of slavery involving the sexual abuse of women held as captives and forced into prostitution.Although this form of abuse did occur in reality (and still does: see the article sexual slavery for this topic), the name "white slavery" is usually used to refer to the original use of the term in a moral panic in late 19th century and early 20th century America, where there was a perception that this form of abuse was a danger to every young woman. In this moral panic, the selected scapegoats were Chinese immigrants, who were stereotyped and demonized as white slavers.

And, after prayers, entreaties, and the rest,
Of whom (aside) Belphegor made a game;
just like a house?--these scoundrels have obtained
But hell will get them when their course is run.
True honesty is forced to leave the door;
Their fellow-mortals,--happiness adieu!
Oft deeper plunge us in the gulph of care;
Who knows a PETTIFOGGER, knows a KNAVE;
The gate through which STRIFE found admittance here.
Still STRIFE remains, and we ourselves deceive:
That LOVE and HYMEN often disagree.
In mutual passion ev'ry bliss we find.
HOW diff'rent things in other states appear!
With lovers--all is sweetness, balm of life;
We daily see from DUTY springs disgust,
On full consideration I will own,
They then deserve the name of HAPPY PAIR.
ENOUGH of this:--no sooner had our wight
But he perceived what marriage must be here,
For ever jars and discords rang around;
Honesta often times such noise would make,
Who, running thither, by the wife.html">wife were told:--
He should have had:--not one of rank like me;
A wife so virtuous, could he e'er deserve!
Indeed, without dispute, 'twould serve him right:--
These prudes can make us credit what they please:
Each moment squabbled through the passing day;
About a petticoat, cards, tables, pies,
Things most ridiculous and quite absurd.
