What Do You Think About Pre-colonial Slavery? by odumchi: 5:08am On Feb 14, 2013
It's interesting to see how people's opinions on the issue of slavery has changed over time. [Generally in West Africa,] In the days prior to the European interruption, slavery was seen as an unquestionable economic tool that led to the foundation of complex and successful societies. Today, it has been vilified as an evil, barbaric and savage practice and has been termed "the shame of humanity".

What do you guys think about pre-colonial slavery?

(I'd like to make it appear as if I am in no way in support of nor against slavery, and would like to analyze it from a neutral perspective)
