Slavery exists all over the world, though more covertly than before. The U.S. and other countries, both developed and less developed, have plenty of slaves, trafficked for sex, agricultural and domestic work, textile factories, massage parlors, tech companies, etc. It is dreadful. More slaves exist today than in any other time in history. Morning coffee? Chocolate from cocoa beans? Child brides? Handwoven carpets? The laptops we're typing on right now? Slave labor -- and much of it is child slave labor.
What I saw with my own eyes in Morocco were people used brutally, mostly as domestic and agricultural slaves.
Slaves don't amount to 1% of the global population. Never in history except modern times has this been the case. In places like Saint-Domingue (modern Haiti) upwards of 80% of the population was enslaved. Where in the world is that the case today?
The world's population has never bern 7.8 billion and growing.

I didn't say there are countries with 80 per cent slave population. You did, though.
As to the rest, you can look it up. I won't do it for you.
Sounds like you're trying to underplay this horrendous and worsening problem.
White men telling this story because the winners control history. Who knows the truth. Probably never know
Along with his point about malaria killing a lot of Europeans in west and central Africa.
There weren't enough Europeans who could kidnap millions of Africans for slavery by themselves.
The transatlantic slave trade was ban by the United States and UK in 1807
Still, slavery existed in the United States for more than 50 years and only thing that stopped it was the Civil War.
I can't think of a single culture or civilization that hasn't had slavery. It's more prevalent today than ever -- but is better hidden.
No. There’s definitely exploitation today, but that’s different from slavery. Hate your low paying job in America? Employment is at all. Meaning you can be fired or quit whenever you want to. Far different thing than slavery. No one is forced to have a job they don’t like.
