American Slavery was worse than working at Amazon.

No A/C. No benefits. No birthday parties.

American Slavery is easily one of the greatest horrors of the universe. All because the South wanted to beat India in the cotton trade.

Were you affected? Or are you offended by association?

Slavery ended less than 200 years ago. Horror trickles through generations. It's hasn't even been 7 generations.

I just don't understand why people bring up slavery. Like... what are you accomplishing by bringing it up? What's it gonna change? Everyone agrees slavery is a bad thing. We fought a massive battle over it and freed them.

Of the 12.5 million slaves transported across the Atlantic less than 500k ended up in America. The rest ended up in South America and the Carribean. The practice of slavery has occurred everywhere on the planet. It was going on in Africa long before America even existed. I encourage you too look into the Dahomy. Their practice of slavery and slave sacrifice. Even after the west stopped slavery they didn't. It only ended when the French conquered them and converted them to Christianity in the late 1800s that slavery in Africa truly ended.

This talk of slavery only causes a divide in America. The true issue with America is class warfare. They keep up fighting over things like slavery and feminism while they just keep getting richer. We're literally fighting over peanuts.
