Muslims created the “markets” for capture and transport of African slaves for many centuries before Europeans ever got there. Local and regional African tribes did the killing, capture, and enslavement of their neighbors. European slave trading, when it finally developed, tapped into centuries old traditions of barbaric enslavement.
That doesn’t absolve anyone who was involved in slavery, but it is ludicrous for leftards to pretend that slavery was only about white Europeans or later Americans...
Or only about the South. Most of the British colonial/US slave-traders were New Englanders!!!!
