"Pirate raids for the acquisition of slaves occurred in towns and villages on the African Atlantic seaboard, as well as in Europe. Reports of Barbary raids and kidnappings of those in Italy, Spain, France, Portugal, England, Netherlands, Ireland, Scotland, Wales, and as far north as Iceland exist from between the 16th to the 19th centuries. It is estimated that between 1 million and 1.25 million Europeans were captured by pirates and sold as slaves in Tunis, Algiers and Tripoli during this time period. The slave trade in Europeans in other parts of the Mediterranean is not included in this estimation.[21]"
Slaves in the Caribbean and South America were literally worked to death but we never hear anyone bitching about them. Our problem in US was we treated them like people. We should never have done that.

Arguably if this type was practiced in the US, it would have solved the fallout that succeeding generations have had to endlessly deal with.
The sensible solution that avoids having a large population of outdated farm implements destroying your nation 150 years in the future.
