What happened to the black slaves sent to Arabia and Asia? Do their bloodlines still exist in those places, or did they die off, or what?
I am also curious about descendants of the European slaves captured by Barbary pirates. They seem to have vanished into history.
Saudi Arabia officially abolished slavery in 1962 a century after our Emancipation Proclamation. An estimated one-tenth of the Saudi population is considered Afro-Arabian, though more Saudis may be part-Black. Historically, the Arab world also took slaves from other parts of the world, including Europe.
Most males taken by Arabs for local use were castrated. Females slaves who became pregnant faced abortion or death. Life was cheap. Black bloodlines in Islamic countries were very rare.
