Reverted content
Hi! I wanted to explain a little about why your edit at Slavery in the United States by was reverted with the edit summary "The exception is mentioned elsewhere in the article -- material added is improperly formated, poorly placed, and written in a non-encyclopedic manner. "

What happened is that the content was already in the article, further down in the timeline. The section on convict leasing is the most specific section on this. The content was slightly non-encyclopedic in that readers would be able to pick up on your viewpoints towards slavery and the prison system. Too often prisons are places where prisoners are treated inhumanely and little to no work is done to try to better prepare inmates for release (or to even qualify for release), but we have to be careful to keep the writing neutral. I think that in this case it was more of a case of where it was placed, since its placement seems like more of a rebuttal to the prior content, rather than how it was written. It was eloquently written, but it wasn't really the best place for it. Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 14:56, 8 September 2017 (UTC)
