Walter. A little balance.

Columbus: Note the brutal slave trade of Europeans, esp. Women, to the North African and Byzantium slave markets that took place at least until the Battle of Lepanto and the Siege of Vienna. (Probably continued after that in Turkey.) The corsairs continually raided the coasts of the Levant for slaves at least until Lepanto.

You might also mention that the Indians themselves practiced slavery including tribes like the Shawnee, Huron, the Apache. This certainly applied to the Incas, and the various Mezo American Indian Tribes who enslaved and killed other tribes (ate them too!.) Very disturbing. So, I would dispute the living "quite happily for thousands of years.".

Should I also mention the state sponsored slavery of humans that existed in the KonzentrationAnslageren and Gulags of Northern Europe in the last Century? Every bit as brutal and more widespread than anything done to the Indians.

Note that Slavery is still practiced in Africa, (Mauritania) and chattel slavery is still practiced in India. And Sex traffic-ing? Do your research.

Some historical balance to a politically correct blind spot! :)

Sorry to be a downer. (Down day on Wall street today, just hanging waiting for funding!)
