Enslaved vs Slaves

[Josh The Lighthouse Guy]

I have noticed a push in recent years, especially by NPS, to use the term "enslaved people" (or a variation thereof) rather than "slaves".

1. When did this shift in terminology start, and what brought it about?

2. When did the NPS start implementing it?

3. Do you think this change is important, and why?
