IMHO, one of the most amazing things to observe in history is that within 100 years of penning the Declaration of Independence and the US Constitution, slavery is basically history....throughout the entire world. the best testament to the integrity of those documents.
Which really is all that needs saying...about the legitimacy of those documents, and the puerile idiocy of those, passing themselves off as “scholars” , who try to classify those documents as “slaveholders writings”.
As with all liberals, that which they openly accuse of, is generally that which they themselves are desperately attempting to practice covertly.
Two thousand years? Shoot, that is just the modern AD era.
There was no time in recorded history without slavery, before the Europeans abolished it.
Slavery existed in North Africa until the French stamped it out in the 1930s. I think the last open slave auction took place in Saudi Arabia in the 1960s. And it exists sub-rosa all over the Islamic world to this day, where it is explicitly approved under Sharia law.
What a PC joke it is to blame Europeans for slavery, when they were the ones who abolished this ancient human institution.
