Slavery has always existed, still does in parts of the world. There were plenty of nonblack slaves, too. The bible speaks of slaves and the proper treatment of them. A lot of the slaves who were freed durring the Civil War either stayed with or returned to their masters. As usual the Yankees didn’t think ahead. They just went in and freed them without any plans of where they would go or how they would survive. Many slaveowners gave their freed slaves a piece of ground and paid them to continue to work for them. And most people don’t know that it was the African leaders who captured their own people and sold them into slavery. They may have had a better life as slaves in America than captured prisoners in Africa.
There is no race on the planet that has not been enslaved at one time or another. Slavery is indeed still practiced, primarily in Africa by Muslims, although Obamalamadingdong is doing his best to bring it back to America.......
Apparently back during the slave days while illegitimate babies were given or sold into slavery.
