History books have been trying to assign the blame to slavery to America almost exclusively for decades, for alot of reasons.
Almost twenty million africans were taken out of Africa as slaves(but only 3 to 6 % of them went to North America.)
Try researching about slavery in Central and South America and you'll find almost nothing(despite lasting alot longer, starting in the 1600s). Talk about the Arabic slave trade, and maybe you'll find more.
There's also the awkward question of 'Well, where did the slaves go, then?' The answer being, they basically worked them all to death(or gelded them and then worked them to death), which leads to the other awkward question of 'Wait, why does North America still have slave descendants around, then?'
Well, because, guess what - while still slavery, Southern slave owners treated their slaves alot nicer than others. Let them breed, let them have families, grow and sell their own crops, allowed for manumission...
But we can't have that discussion, can we? Gotta sell that propaganda...

Exactly. I’ve joked that they need to have a mandatory “world history of slavery class” where they just watch some Sowell videos about it.
