Were the non-slave States complicit in Slavery

An individual is complicit in a crime if he/she is aware of its occurrence and has the ability to report the crime, but fails to do so. As such, the individual effectively allows criminals to carry out a crime despite possibly being able to stop them, either directly or by contacting the authorities, thus making the individual a de-facto accessory to the crime rather than an innocent bystander.

At the DU we know about conditions in our third world factories. Is there anyone to really report them too? The US government who surely can't prevent the conditions in another country but can prevent those goods from entering the US legally. We complain about the working conditions in other countries, but we buy our IPADs anyways. Yeah we are complicit.
