The trans-atlantic slave trade was in a different league to ancient slavery it was diabolical,cold and nomadic why?? because it happened from the 17th century to the 19th the period documented as the "new world" dont get it twisted cause in terms of history the slave trade was recent and was undertook by "civilised" men of the new age not barbarians or pagans but civilised suit-wearing "leaders of the free world" the fact is america and the uk built what stands today off the back of the atlantic slave trade, i mean come on 99% of black people in the uk and usa still go by there slave names and heritage, and there are still slaving there asses off for their white masters...
Thats why its more important then ancient arabian slavery that had nothing to do with the west......
