march 14 2016 LONDON (Thomson Reuters Foundation) - Mauritania has vowed to ramp up its fight against slavery, becoming the second African country to approve a United Nations treaty designed to give countries the legal muscle to combat forced labor and trafficking.

Slavery is a historical practice in Mauritania and both adults and their children are the property of their masters.

The Haratin, who make up the main "slave caste", are descended from black African ethnic groups along the Senegal river. They often work as cattle herders and domestic servants.

The West African country has the highest prevalence of slavery, according to the Global Slavery Index, which estimates that 4 percent of the population - or some 150,000 people - are living as slaves.

Human slavery is an ancient institution. Probably existed as long as humans have. I doubt they teach it in the textbooks but white Europeans didn't invent it lol. In fact, without the help of black Africans there would have been very few slaves to market in the New World.

Another politically incorrect fact is Muslims rocked it for many centuries, even enslaving white Europeans. I mean the Muslims rocked it. Of course they started early, somewhere in the 6th century [coincidentally, around the same time Islam arrived on the scene lol] and by 1960 Muslims had enslaved roughly 180 million people.

To put that in historical perspective, the US slave trade lasted about 300 years and American slave traders enslaved roughly 12 million Africans.

You're trying to excuse the Confederacy by pointing out that "Muslims" are worse, lol?

Yup - whites didn't enslave blacks. They bought people who had been enslaved by other blacks.
