  1.  @backintimealwyn5736  Amazingly it was the US that stopped the corsair trade in slavery. The newly formed USA couldn't afford to pay off the corsairs and as they were so far away from North Africa they couldn't maintain naval patrols to protect US trading vessels ... so they simple sent every warship they had to Algiers and bombarded it, boarding and scuttling every ship they found. Crude but effective. Both the British and French paid the corsairs to leave their ships alone and only target the other side. The corsairs just took the money from both sides and carried on as normal. In terms of eye colour taking slaves would definitely bring variable eye colours in but as North Africa has had migration in and out of Europe for millennia then its probably had variable eye colour for millennia as well.
