The Anglosphere is unique among all cultures that practiced slavery in that we didn't castrate our slaves. Arabs, jews, other Africans, the Chinese, etc, every other culture castrated their slaves male and female. Also ofc we fought a war to ban slavery 150 years ago whereas it's freely practiced in 3rd world and developing countries today.
Who's this "we," yankee.
Americans. I'll grant that the British banned it 30 years prior in 1833 however.
Largely true. The Ottoman Turks and Arabs (and Greeks and others) would castrate SOME slaves--for instance, those that worked in the harem--but not necessarily soldiers, administrators, other servants, etc.
What's really interesting is the Ottomans and Greeks got in an argument over the best way to castrate. The Ottomans would cut it all out--root and stem, no cock, no balls. The Greeks would usually leave the cock. Turks viewed this as immoral and debauched, because apparently the eunuchs could (and would) fuck to some degree.
Cutting it all off removed any chance of harem hankpy panky -- at least from the eunuchs. Certain vegetables WERE forbidden...
eggplant?
Yeah, and watch out for carrots too!
