    Educated in history here (history should have no bias), while there are a greater number of slaves today they represent a smaller portion of the population than during the 1800s. In addition modern slavery is not the same as chattel slavery which is infinitely worse given that it denies the slave’s existence as a human being. Im not saying slavery is OK Im just saying your claims aren’t entirely accurate.

        Responses from historians will rarely make you feel better, but will help you understand the complexities that people without that specialization often overlook.

        Knowledge is its own reward.
