Slavery was the norm worldwide 2000 years ago.

In fact the Old Testament has rules for keeping slaves and staying sin free with God. My favorite I can’t talk about here due to forum rules. If you beat your slave and he or she is alive the next morning, then you have not sinned against God.

The big Roman slave revolt was pictured in the ’50’s blockbuster movie Spartacus.

Supposedly slavery is much worse now than before the civil war in terms of total number of slaves world wide.

Was a Serf a Slave? Kinda seemed like it.

True but since the thread was about Africa, the attempt was to stay on topic. We could discuss the Egyptians enslavement of Jews as well but that would be in a thread concerning Israel. The Chinese also had slaves at one time but again, that would be in the thread concerning China.
