Also people like John Brown pre civil war (takes balls to pull those punches that's for sure):

People like bringing up the institution of slavery in the USA but not the actions of the people who opposed it at the time or the fact a civil war came about over it's removal.
Per capita their civil war killed the most of its own people compared to any other war the USA was involved in since - including WWI and WWII. |
Black people were selling each other into slavery long before it became a European practice. It was also not safe to live in coastal European areas as Islamic slavers constantly raided these areas. These facts are conveniently forgotten as they don't fit the current narrative...
