Slavery was abolished in the United States in 1865. I think the statute of limitations has expired.

In each of the suits, the plaintiffs charge that corporations are guilty of conspiracy, human rights violations and unjust enrichment from the "immoral and inhumane institution of slavery," according to the court documents. Notice they don't say it was ILLEGAL?

Maybe so but it still goes on in the USA with Mexican migrant workers!

How can you sue for something that was totally, completely legal and in fact mentioned in the constitution? While slavery was morally wrong, it was completely legal and sanctioned by the govt. Either I'm completely misunderstanding the legal system (which is highly likely) or they don't have a leg to stand on.

I think the statute of limitations has expired. Uh, slavery was Constitutionally legal at that time.
What law or laws were broken that compensation is justified?
