No it wasn’t you fukking moron. A slave revolt does not prove your point. The Romans practiced slavery too ever here of Spartacus does not equate to the slavery that was practiced in the Americas. I do how you omit that other non-black groups were also enslaved and it was not typically a generational process or a based solely on a racial designation. You are a white supremacist masquerading behind the name of a black superhero your disgusting support a genocidal, terrorist, apartheid state. I bet you hate Malcolm X for his support for Palestine don’t you.
Paul Lovejoy estimates that around 6 million black slaves were transported across the Sahara between the years 650 AD and 1500 AD The trans-Saharan slave trade, established in
Antiquity,
[20] continued during the
Middle Ages. Following the early 8th-century
conquest of North Africa, Arabs, Berbers, and other ethnic groups ventured into
Sub-Saharan Africa first along the
Nile Valley towards
Nubia, and also across the
Sahara towards West Africa. They were interested in the
trans-Saharan trade, especially in slaves, as there was a constant demand for slaves in the eastern Arab nations and
Constantinople. The Muslim slave traders distinguished themselves from the peoples on the other side of the Sahara, referring to these African populations as
Zanj or
Sudan meaning "black".
Arabs would routinely acquire slaves through violent raiding, followed by capturing them and sending them on dangerous forced marches across the Sahara to slave markets where they would be treated as chattel i.e. as personal property that can be bought and sold. In North Africa, the main slave markets were in
Morocco,
Algiers,
Tripoli and
Cairo. Sales were held in public places such as
souks. During the era of the
Fatimid Caliphate (909–1171), the majority of slaves were Europeans taken along European beaches during conflicts.
In Central Africa, during the 16th and 17th centuries, slave traders continued to raid the region as part of the expansion of the Saharan and Nile River slave routes. It is estimated that, in the 17th and 18th centuries, 1.4 million slaves were forced to make the trek through the Sahara Captives were enslaved and shipped to the Mediterranean coast, Europe, Arabia, the Western Hemisphere, or to the slave ports and factories along the West and North Africa coasts or South along the Ubanqui and Congo rivers.
1.2 million slaves are estimated to have been sent through the Sahara in the 19th century. In the 1830s, a period when slave trade flourished,
Ghadames was handling 2,500 slaves a year. Even though the slave trade was officially abolished in
Tripoli by the
Firman of 1857, this law was never enforced, and continued in practice
[61] at least until the 1890s.
[62] In Tripoli,
G. F. Lyon recorded that from 4,000 to 5,000 slaves were processed annually with raids to areas like Kanem-Bornu providing sources of captives. As a witness to the behavior of the slave dealers, Lyon described their behavior in Libya:
None of the owners were ever without their whips which were in constant use...no slave dares to be ill or unable to walk, but when the poor sufferer dies the master suspects there must have been "something wrong inside" and regrets not having liberally applied the usual remedy of burning the belly with a red hot iron" thus reconciling to themselves their cruel treatment of these unfortunate creatures.
[63]
Other 19th-century European explorers recorded their perilous experiences traveling through the Saharan Desert alongside slave caravans. The explorer
Gustav Nachtigal reported finding numerous bones at desert springs that had run dry. estimated that for every one slave that successfully arrived at the market three or four had either died or escaped. Cold could also kill in the desert as the explorer
Heinrich Barth relayed a story that the vizier of Bornu had lost forty slaves in a single night in Libya. A British account described one hundred skeletons.
Al-Idrisi would also describe the different methods Muslim merchants would use to enslave blacks, recording that some would "steal the children of the Zanj using
dates...lure them with dates and lead them from place to place, until they seize them, take them out of the country and transport them to their own countries".
[25] In 1353, the Berber explorer
Ibn Battuta would record accompanying a trade caravan to Morocco which carried 600 black female slaves who were to be used as domestic servants and
concubines.

Imagine describing an event as devastating to the Black race as the holocaust was to the Jews as not a big deal because it wasn’t 1 for 1 with American slavery you fukking Arab worshipping c00n. You probably wish your Arab zaddy would cut your dikk off so you could guard his harem. Probably see it as a high honor.
