  It’s very rare to see someone talk about slavery like this. A totally unbiased perspective with facts rather than opinions makes this so enjoyable to watch. I just learned 10 times more about the horror of slave trade than I did throughout the entirety of the education system.

  Thank you for covering modern slavery. It’s an absolute tragedy people will deny it and demonize slavery as something just one country did, and refuse to acknowledge that it continues to this day.

  Bro, how about the slaves held by the Incas, Mayas and Aztecs?

  This should be taught in grade school, too many people are not aware of the real history of slavery.  Brief but accurate and to the point.

  You briefly mentioned berber slave trade but a description of barbary wars would have been great too.

  It would have been helpful if pre-Columbian slavery in the Americas was addressed, as well as sub-Saharan African slavery, which existed before the Arab slave traders arrived in that region of the world. Also, a look into slavery in East and Southeast Asia from the last few thousands years would also help to show the ubiquitous nature of slavery.

  Alot of people think the British, Spanish and Portuguese started the slave trade. 😂

  I'm glad someone is pointing out modern slavery during one of these videos. The cold fact of there being more slaves than ever before is lost as we "abolished" slavery across the world. Even though something is illegal and frowned upon, doesn't mean it doesn't happen. Thank you for being brave enough to point this fact out, as we believe we are more civilized than we actually are as a species. Slavery will never end, we can only hope to limit it as much as possible.

  Thank you so much for this. I teach Middle School American History and this video is an absolute blessing for covering the background of slavery outside of our borders.

  Man... I was feeling so confident for humanity as major countries started to outlaw slavery one-by-one, only to have the video end with by mentioning that there are now more slaves on earth than at any previous moment. Really puts things in perspective. Humanity can be so incredibly cruel.
