  1.  @Molari  So....taking a man from Africa, and selling him/her in the slave markets of the Middle East is "nice" slavery. WAY different than taking him/her to the Americas and selling them in the slave markets there. I can't see the preference but maybe I would after being castrated in Egypt or Yemen. Those slaves, that had their hearts ripped out in religious ceremonies in the Aztec Empire, sure had it good. I'm sure that we'd both prefer that over picking sugar cane in Jamaica. You're turning it into a contest, a totally unproductive exercise. The truth is that Mauritania was the last country to abolish slavery, in 1981. An African country. However, they didn't pass a law to prosecute slave owners until 2007. I'm sure it was the "nice" slavery that you're alluding to, though. (big time sarcasm) Most debt slaves involved people from the same group or nationality. Slaves of Roman citizenry could be debt slaves and would have rules in which they could work their way out of slavery. Captured slaves, from northern Europe and Africa were not accorded that privilege. That was common with almost ALL slaves within countries or Kingdoms. Maybe you should check out the timeline of slavery, around the world, on Wikepedia. Even the Hawaiians had a slave culture, known as the ancient Hawaiian kapu. This isn't a contest to see which one is the worst. Be grateful to those who sacrificed to end slavery and quit the blame game. All it does is beget resentment, anger and retribution. It, not only doesn't solve anything, it tears us apart.

  2.  @Molari  They didn't "invent" it. Slavery has been a part of human history for thousands of years and practised all over the earth. By the time the pilgrims landed in Plymouth, Spartacus, the leader that lead Roman slaves against Rome, had been dead for over 1500 years. Do you know what they did to him and thousands of other slaves? Crucified them and left them to hang on their crosses for weeks so the other slaves would know not to rebel ever again. This is the legacy of SLAVERY and humanity. We don't know who invented slavery because it's been with us for years, long before we started recording it in writing.
