>>889125Good Lord. (You) make /pol/tards look like brane scientists.
>Where did they come from?Africa. Well established slave trade routes from Central Africa to North Africa, Egypt, Arabia, Middle East in general, India, China. Prebvious occupations were living in their villages until other Africans came in and abducted them, men, women, children, whatever would bring a price from a buyer.
>How many?Several million prior to about 1400 going all the way back to pre-Islam, all the way back to Rome, all the way back to pre-Jesus Christ. You can read about how it was God's Will in the fucking Bible and it's predecessor documents. Compare that time frame and technology era to the approximately 12 million between 1500 and about 1850 in the Atlantic, while also noting that at least another 2 or 3 million still were sold off on the old slave routes during the modern time frame.
>What conditions?Many of the men could expect to be castrated (especially popular option in the Arab countries), and the women used as public service rape holes. There is virtually no detectable African DNA in China today, even though hundreds of thousands of Africans disappeared as slaves into China. That says all that needs to be said about their breeding and survival rates in China.
Nobody said fuck about absolving anyone of slavery crimes. The point is that slavery is as old as human history for well over 10,000 years and is condoned in every single religion man ever invented. Until the 1800s when it finally started to die out. For all that time, every culture of the world considered slavery a normal and acceptable part of every day life.
The bullshit today is pretending that white people invented slavery and that no other country or culture every practiced it ever in history before Europeans used them in the Americas. Africans were selling other Africans into slavery for thousands of years before Europeans got into the trade. It was a very unwoke time period.
