Or how it actually varied from the Caribbean to South America to the U.S.To be fair - the history of chattel slavery is heavily watered down.
The true brutality is never taught.
School is not gonna teach you about the orgies, people getting beat to death, burned to death, buried alive, drowned at sea, eaten by dogs, etc etc
The sex farms, the breeding farms, the laws that were established to let white women off with murdering slave children, the laws that were established to allow white slaveowners full ownership even when they were technically "free", the black codes that were established after slavery that made being unemployed a crime for black folk, the reparations that were paid to former slave owners, not even talking about the decades of damages that came to Black Americans financially and mentally after the end of slavery through jim crow to now.To be fair - the history of chattel slavery is heavily watered down.

That's a disgusting argument.I've heard lots of right-wing extremists make this argument. There's one pro-confederate nutjob who has a huge hand in national home-schooling networks curricula who spends all sorts of time writing books about how slavery wasn't that bad, in fact black people kinda liked it, and abortion is much worse.
