We literally had to outlaw slavery. That should tell you everything you need to know about supposed self-regulation.

    Well, we didn't really outlaw it. We made it only legal under certain conditions.

    "Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction." - emphasis mine

    Your point still stands though
