And Native Americans enslaved by Native Americans! The American Indians practiced slavery of other American Indians - tribal warfare captives and such. Sacajawae a Shoshone was a captive slave who was purchased by her French trapper husband. (Whether she was his slave or wife, there is still some debate!) when Lewis & Clark met her & hubby.

Yes-and if more people had an interest in history they would know that all over the Americas at that time, captives taken in tribal warfare and other violent disagreements were enslaved-better than being killed outright, I suppose-or if you were captured in battle by the Aztecs, being made to play that you-lose-you-get-executed basketball game probably wasn’t a good thing, either. Slavery existed in all human society-not a good thing, but a fact-my Spanish ancestors enslaved my Native ancestors in what is now Mexico-so where are my reparations-do I have to go to Cali to get them? This is just another welfare scam-gimmee, gimmee, gimmee...
