the cradle of civilization

Every country in history has been part of slavery in some form or another. Slavery is evil. It goes back to 3500 BC with Mesopotamia. There is no continent (except Antarctica) that has not taken part in slavery. Every color and creed were slaves. Over a million white slaves existed during the Barbary period. Upward of 2.5 million whites and blacks were enslaved around the Black Sea (1450 to 1700). If you were attractive, you became a sex slave. Man's inhumanity to man knows no bounds.

And on that same note, don't forget Conquer and domination, not one country in the world (or people) is conquest-free at some point every one has been conquered and conquered others.

Can we also point out that the US were of the first to abolish slavery?

some folks too busy erasing history by the time they get done America will be the only country that ever had slavery.

Yeah let’s hope that doesn’t happen.
