It’s one of his best cartoons.
The biggest slave owners were the Turks. Every fifth Christian boy had to be given as slave to the Turkish sultan (dervisme).
The larges slave market was Kaffa (now Feodosia) on Crimea, where Ukrainian, Russian, Polish and Rumanian slaves were sold to Turks. Women as sexual slaves, men for servitude. Turkish harems were almost exclusively “staffed” by European Christian women, as enslaving Muslims is prohibited by Koran.
Even during WWI, Armenian women slaves were sold in Istanbul.
On the other hand, In Wester Europe, the Trinitarian order

Was established solely to free Christian slaves from Muslim capturers.
Europeans captured and enslaved by Muslims (Turks, Arabs, Berbers) go to millions.
Indigenous People have two great days they can call their own.
June 25, 1876, Little Big Horn,
Aug 10, 1680, when the Pueblo Indians drove the Spanish out of New Mexico.
But n-o-0-0-o. They have to try and grab off a day honoring the findings of an Italian in the service of Spain!
Had Columbus never “Sailed the Ocean Blue” the new world would still have been found by Pedro Álvares Cabral in 1500.
The Age of Discovery was upon the whole world at that time.
Here is my short list of how the Indians loved each other and only did the Happy Dance till the evil White Man arrived.

And again, this is just my short list. I have many more of inter-tribal warfare before the white man showed up on the scene.
In the book Don Quixote by Cervantes, he tells the story of a young boy captured by the Turks. He survived by pretending to be a girl till rescued by the Spanish.
He did it because he found the Turks had a sexual preference for young boys.
Waaaah! Visit the keywords for this year's additions.
Saint Patrick was an English teenager when he was kidnapped by an Irish warlord on the seacoast. He was enslaved, taken to the interior of the island, and used as a shepherd. Eventually, the Holy Spirit guided him to escape. He walked for days until he reached a port, where he persuaded a ship’s captain to take him back to England. There, he studied for the priesthood and determined to return to Ireland to share the gospel with the pagan Irish. The rest is history. (Ripe for cancellation.)
It's why most of the royal families in the Arab nations look white. Beautiful progeny of the enslaved failed upward.
