In human history, every culture of any size had slavery. It was part of life.
I think that the USA was one of the first countries to make it illegal AND immoral.

Further reading/viewing:
- The Slave Trade Today, by Sean O'Callaghan 1961
- The White Slave Trade, by O'Callaghan Sean 1965
- IMDB: There Are Still Slaves in the World (1964) (note: title of this film based on O'Callaghan's book has been altered from movie posters visible at link)
The film documents modern slave trade through a number of Arabian and African countries, under muslim rule. The filming was conducted both in public places, and sometimes with the use of hidden cameras, for high impact scenes of nudity, sex, and violence - and a few surprises, as slaves made out of foreigners/migrants to Mecca, and slave traders paid in traveller checks.
This film can be viewed online in ten parts at YouTube if you opt to log in...here

I guess that we
epigenes tend to underestimate and/or underappreciate Franklin.
Is it perhaps in part due to his less-than-impressive physical portrayal (portliness, baldness, eyeglasses)? The homespun diction of "Poor Richard's Almanach?" The bawdiness of some of his less-remembered humorous works?
