Do the arabs for their slave trade that lasted 13 centuries that range from 10β18+ million Africans enslaved via trans-Saharan and Indian Ocean routes. Castration of males was common, leading to high mortality; women often faced sexual slavery. It persisted into the modern era in places like Mauritania....... No ok.
12.5 million Africans shipped (mostly to the Americas), 10.7 million arrived. Brutal, but shorter duration (centuries, not over a millennium). African kingdoms and merchants supplied many captives........ No? Just going to ignore they sold there own people.... Ok nw
Romans, Greeks, Ottomans, Mongols, Aztecs/Mayans (human sacrifice + slavery), Native American tribes, Chinese, Koreans, Southeast Asians all practiced forms of chattel slavery, debt bondage, or conquest enslavement.
European colonialism had horrors (e.g., Congo Free State under Leopold II, Americas indigenous impacts, famines), but also involved abolitionist movements, infrastructure, and eventual self-critique. Europeans were also victims: Barbary slave trade (North African corsairs enslaved ~1+ million Europeans), Ottoman invasions, Viking raids, etc.
Europeans were not the only ones to critique or abolish slavery, but they were the first to launch a sustained, large-scale, ideologically driven campaign that led to its widespread legal abolition across much of the world, including enforcement against others. This was rooted in Enlightenment ideas, Christian ethics (human dignity, equality before God), economic shifts, and activism unique in its scope and persistence. Other societies had critiques and partial bans, but slavery remained normative until Western pressure accelerated global change.
In short I do feel sympathetic to the people of the past. I don't feel guilty though as it had nothing to do with me
