While true it makes it no better that people bought them and kept them as slaves here too.

Slavery is an ugly scar on the face of our history no matter what was also happening elsewhere or the few that were not treated as livestock.

That we had a large enough portion of this nation that thought it was acceptable to own another human being is not softened by the few that treated them "better" than the others.
