Actually, that's just semantics. Sure, there was no "slavery," but the political, economic and social conditions hadn't really changed all that much.
I always say that I probably wouldn't last long in slavery, if I were the same person that I am now. I don't know that I would have escaped, but I don't think that I would have lasted very long.
