Europeans did not in fact invent slavery.
- eapressoandcats 2y agoI was responding to this person’s more precise comment with shorthand. But yes, specifically Europeans invented transporting Africans from Sub-Saharan Africa to plantations in the Americas to do labor intensive harvesting of sugar, tobacco, and cotton. His point was that Americans didn’t uniquely invent that institution, not that there was no slavery outside of Europe.
