It is hard to know or quantify the NUMBERS of dead of either Slavery or the Holocaust...I would say the two were equally bad. The only difference is that Slavery was done for hundreds of years and the German Holocaust was done within 5-10....Human lives are Human lives and there no way to say one id better than the other SO BOTH were equally bad.

The Holocaust was the worst "6 MILLION" people lost their lives for absolutely no reason just out of pure hatred-Now slavery was very horrible as well but the U.S did not invent slavery -Slavery was already around in Africa and many tribesmen sold woman,men,and even children to the white man for a price.So when slavery ended here those ideals of ending slavery eventually passed over into Africa thereby ending slavery there too..There is soo much more to the story but that's kinda the gist

i dont think they can really be compared. overall i think the holocuast was worse. they were trying to whipe out an entire race of people. tourturing them and murdering them. not all slaves were treated badly. a lot of them were treated like members of the family. but of course we only hear about the bad treatment. the holocuast is not brought up nearly as often as slavery and i think more people should know about it. i believe that it was 100 times worse than slavery

They were both wrong. So what's your point? By the way, it's not "holocuast".

Both were horrible. But the Holocaust was worse because they killed so many people.

I don't see enough information here and you are communicating it in such a way it's a jumble. Holocaust is now a cache term widely applicable. More specific please.
