Especially blacks, Lisa. Africans brought to the American colonies lived longer and better than the members of their tribes that stayed in Africa, and a hell of a lot better than captives that went anywhere else in the world. That’s not even saying anything about the descendants of those slaves. How many “African-Americans” would trade their US citizenship for a return to their ancestral homeland? If you find any, I’ll buy their ticket, so long as they don’t retain US citizenship.
Forgotten slavery: The Arab-Muslim slave trade
"While European merchants primarily sought strong young men to work as labourers on their plantations, Arab merchants focused on concubinage, capturing women and girls to serve as sex slaves in harems. In fact, the demand for female slaves was so high that merchants would often double their price, with the ratio of captured women to men being three to one.
Male slaves were often assigned to work as field labourers or guards at harems. To prevent them from reproducing in case they became intimate with female slaves, men and boys were subjected to castration, a brutal procedure that resulted in the deaths of many during the process."
