i read a book: Emperor. And i came to realise that ancient rome, ancient egyptians, ancient china, etc, they all had slaves to build monuments, great civilizations and eventually an empire. Im not saying that it is ethical, especially now in the modern world, it would be unacceptable. However, from a historical view, was there an alternative? Do u think that it contributes greatly to what we are enjoying today? Without them, we would not achieve many things right?
I repeat, im not supporting slavery, so pls do not hurl insults at me.
