It’s like… All places in the world had (or still have) slavery going on. Why does the Internet seem to think we were the worst offenders???
tbf, there are only a handful of systems of slavery that were worse than Southern US and Caribbean slavery as-introduced-by-the-triangle-trade. We were running one of the worst variations of what was already one of mankind’s worst systems ever devised.
But yeah, people often aren’t looking at that so much as “I know about American slavery and not slavery in my own country”
