@OogieBoogie well as a matter of fact, every nation has had slaves in thier past. Man, woman and child. Before the industrial era thats just how work got done. You lost a battle, now your a farmer.
America was just the last nation to abolish slavery and theyve been using it as propaganda for 200 years to create seperation for profit.
Being black had nothing to do with anything, thats specific to the US. Why are the chinese or indian slaves never mentioned?
Also slavery wasnt ended by the civil war. It ended because the cotton gin was invented so the last excuse to use people as farm tools was obsolete.
Slavery is apart of everyones history and doesnt effect anyone in this era because noone has experienced slavery in 200 years.

Gigantic surprise.
noone has experienced slavery in 200 years.
Well, I'm sure that will come as a huge surprise to every black person who served time in the south for violating sundown laws clear through the 1960s and was forced to do hard labor in private prisons. Gigantic surprise.

@GuyWithOpinions A modern mechanical cotton gin was created by American inventor Eli Whitney in 1793 and patented in 1794. It made cotton farming more profitable, leading to a boom in cotton production in the United States. This inadvertently led to an increase in the use of slaves. Whitney had hoped his invention would do the opposite by reducing the amount of labor needed to process cotton, but he never invented a machine to harvest cotton. That job still had to be done by hand. Cotton harvesting machines did not show up until the 1930s. So, as cotton farmers expanded their plantations, they bought more slaves to pick the cotton.

@Unquestioned i just looked it up due to your comment.
An increase from 700 000 in 1790, to 1.2 million slaves by 1810.
Shit... Thats a massive increase, almost double!

@GuyWithOpinions You know, i wasn't going to do this but, @Unquestioned's accurate schooling has encouraged me to additionally point out that your imformation-splaining is quite wrong on...
There is currently estimated something like 50 million people trapped in modern slavery....still TODAY.
A huge majority of them, (70%), are women and girls.
It goes by the terms 'enforced labour', 'sexual exploitation' and 'forced marriage'.
These types of slavery can even be hereditary....still.
So there are women alive today ... who know no other type of life.
Your joke about such things was in really bad taste.
It takes great insight of delivery, and intelligent wit to ride the wave of dark humour in such a way as to not come across as an insultive douche.
Id like to suggest you may not have enough of either to successfully complete such a task...
....and perhaps double check your 'facts' before you put them into print.
