This message is for idiots: I do not condone slavery, punch yourself in the crotch if you try to argue that
European slavery was extremely bad in the transit phase but when they got there, it was more to keep them alive as long as possible as they didn't want to buy more if needed. African slavery was by conquest same as in South America but that also involved human sacrifice
Then there's Arabic slavery, oh boy...with the mass castration, which ironically enough is WHY there isn't any race issues in the middle east.
I'd say the best one was probably roman as there was ways you could earn citizenship, buy your way out and a way out for children.
Good points. Although I’ve read about some brutal African slave owners. I guess my main annoyance is that these people act as if slavery and land conquest is unique to America
Because combined with Lincoln's (I highly recommend watching Razorfists hour long breakdown of Lincoln) actions, it has the most bad blood with it
The Europeans mostly just bought the slaves freedom to avoid a war, then the British further used it's resources to stop new slaves being delivered. It's why BLM died early in Europe, you're telling the people who had debts to pay for your freedom that only recently got cleared that they owe you more, your reparations was already paid to your ancestors to free them!
It's interesting, there were presidential candidates who supported buying and freeing slaves. They were not considered mainstream and either ignored or killed.
To be completely fair and give the other side of the coin from Razor (not that he is wrong, just that there are other factors at play too), Bleeding Kansas had already been raging for 10 years by the time the election of Lincoln came around.
It gets forgotten about a lot because it wasnt as flashy as the Civil War that came right after it, but I am a Kansas native so I have grown up with it. And Bleeding Kansas showed one thing and one thing only: Neither side would be reasonable on the issue. The Pro-Slave advocates would lie, cheat, steal, and commit election fraud on almost comical scales if it meant keeping slavery operating in the US. And they would intimidate, shoot, and bribe anyone who refused to bend to their will. But at the same time, the Free-State advocates had been taken over by individuals who believed it was their destiny to wage a literal, Biblically-endorsed CRUSADE against the South to "Smite the heathens" for slavery, as it was a crime just as much against God as against man.
And you expect an English end to slavery, where the government just buys and frees all the slaves? When these are your factions? It was always going to end one way and one way only.
I plan on watching that video. In hindsight I wish we had done it that way. I guess I meant more in the sense that I have literally met people who had no idea slavery exists today or existed in other parts of the world. In one of Thomas Sowell’s books he gives a good summary of world slavery.
I get the bad blood but I guess I have little patience with young black people who can’t shut up about slavery or act as if they suffered more than those who were actual slaves. But blm is a popular grift and you have people who are still dumb enough to take them seriously.

Always spay and neuter your pets or don't be surprised when you start having a lot of problems with strays.
Bob Barker was right!

It's hard to justify a powergrab by a federal and executive body if you simply pay the owners for their property....

Thanks for reminding me about the Lincoln video.
