A nevessary evil!! Trust me just had this question on a test got it right :)
There was no slavery in Africa before the Europeans got involved!
It was much worse than slavery in the America's.
Of Course. The jews, founders of Israel, at one point in History (Before Jesus) were slaves.
It was the African tribes who used to fight each other and sell their own "unwanted" members of their tribes. This was the earliest form of "Slavery".
They were seen unequal so the enslaved those fools
Slavery existed in African trade long before europeans arrived
We cannot say who invented slavery as an institution; slavery has been practised for a very long time, long before recorded history.
Before the widespread acceptance of slavery, Africans brought skills, cultural knowledge, agricultural techniques, and a diversity of traditions to the colonies. They played a significant role in shaping early American culture and economy through their contributions before the exploitation of slavery became a dominant system.
Arabs did enslave africans long before the europeans, however the europeans did bring chattell slavery to north America, where it evolved and became the peculiar institution that later begat Jim crow....
In March of 1807, President Jefferson issued a written statement roundly condemning the institution of slavery in the US. He was the first sitting president to do so before President Abraham Lincoln's time.
The last major European power abolished slavery approximately 35 years before it was abolished in America. Slavery continued in the United States because the institution ingrained itself into the society and was "needed" by large plantations to grow huge amounts of cotton and tobacco for a world wide market.
Abraham Lincoln saw keeping the United States intact as his most important mission. He was personally against slavery, however, he recognized that under cases decided by the US Supreme Court, the institution of slavery was legal. He also recognized that slavery did not exist as a "Southern" creation. Since before the US was a nation, slavery existed. It was clear to him that slavery could have been abolished long ago. And, that the North was just as guilty as anyone else for the institution of slavery. Lincoln, as the US President, sought to assure the Southern slave States that he had no intention to interfere with slavery where it existed. He did this in his duty to protect the Constitutional rights of all "citizens". He understood that under the Constitution, slaves were not considered "citizens".

Yes, a woman can be a master in various fields such as education, arts, sciences, and more. The term "master" generally refers to someone who has achieved a high level of expertise or skill in their profession, and gender does not dictate one's ability to attain mastery.
no racism existed before slavery
Robert Wickliffe was governor of Louisiana right before the Civil War. He supported slavery, but he did not want Louisiana to secede.
True. Slavery was a central economic and social institution in the southern United States before the Civil War, shaping the region's culture and politics. This dependence on slavery contributed to the South's resistance to social and economic changes that could have modernized the region.
