Slavery Real History

Summary

Slavery was common in the old world, and not invented by white colonialists.  In fact, they didn’t hunt down slaves in Africa but were in fact purchased from other Africans in Africa. The slave trade has existed in Africa since the seventh century. Some historians estimate that before Europeans arrived in the fifteenth century, Africans sold over eleven million slaves to the Islamic world.

Thus slavery didn’t start in 1492 when Columbus came to the New World. And it didn’t start in 1619 when the first slaves landed in Jamestown. It’s not a white phenomenon. 

It is not solely a phenomenon associated with white society; rather, its roots and impacts span various cultures and epochs.
