There are a lot of misconceptions surrounding the institution of slavery, especially here in the United States. These myths often serve pernicious political purposes that can be highly detrimental to a proper conception of history. So here are 10 of those myths debunked in no particular order.
For general reference and mistakes: -I'm tired of all the racism in the comments, so they are now disabled - if you have a comment, here is a comment response video: https://youtu.be/Rzs62Y0qJ0o 1 - one example of white slavery I could have mentioned were the Amerindian slavers of Tans-Mississippi West, who would raid Spanish/Mexican colonies and visa/versa - but that is way too complicated for this myth. 2 - 3:20 - my bad, 1922 was the fall of the Ottoman Empire, 1918 was the end of WWI 5 - 7:10 - "any power not expressed" (the not is kind of difficult to hear) 7 - 8:30 - typo, Marx was born in 1818 not 1918, LOL
