Def-Con News readers are a savvy team of Conservatives. You all are aware of the history of world slavery, however, Daily Wire provocateur Matt Walsh has compiled a short refresher which is below.
Nice would be getting this truth about slavery into World and U.S. History books. Certainly, however, there’s not a chance that will happen in this or even the next decade.
This from thelibertydaily.com.
In no way is this an attempt to rationalize what has become known as American slavery–the common knowledge that Blacks were owned by whites, with certain exception, until it was abolished by the 13th Amendment.
Nevertheless, Walsh has been lambasted for explaining parts of the history of slavery that woke Americans either intentionally forget or never learned in the first place. He has done so again in an epic but concise Twitter thread below:
Well over one million whites were enslaved in North Africa between the 16th and 19th centuries, most of them abducted and sold by Muslim pirates. Africans were raiding Europe for slaves for hundreds of years. The school system has totally erased this fact from history.

Of course, white people were enslaved in other parts of Africa too, and across the world for centuries. Including in North America where white “servants” were shipped to the colonies by the thousands.
Slavery in America didn’t begin in 1619. White children were being kidnapped and sold into servitude in the colonies before that. And, of course, slavery existed in the Americas for hundreds of years prior to Europeans ever setting foot here. Indian tribes all practiced slavery.

Slavery persisted in non-western countries long after it had been abolished in the west. Slavery was an accepted institution in Africa and Asia for millennia, and it seems to have never occurred to any of these societies that there might be something wrong with the practice.
And, of course, the African slave trade was mostly furnished by Africans capturing other Africans and selling them into bondage. The African slave trade was abolished by the west, not by Africa.
Slavery remained legal in parts of Africa well into the 20th century.

Is there any “acceptable” form of slavery? Absolutely not.
Now, please, as a nation let us mentally note one widely believed error—the one aspect of slavery which pretends the practice began here in America.
Importantly, we who know the truth must strive to spread the correct story, awaken the wokesters from their slumber of stupidity.
They then must also stop pretending Black slavery never ended here–it did. And that slavery is a white-man’s guilt–it is not.
Also, the woke pretending that human trafficking does not exist again in America must stop–it does rampantly under the Obiden practice of Open Borders. The proof is abundant.
This variation of slavery must also be stopped—even if the democrat-communists want to pretend they have not caused it and that they are responsible for ending it.
God speed to Conservatism.
And God speed to the demise of the democrat-communist party of America.
