Slavery In The 1700s

Answer 3

Yes, of course there were slavves in the 1700's.

Slavery exists since time immemorial and is alive and well even today- there is a perfectly legal slave market in Khartoum (Sudan) where you can buy a human for as little as 20 US$. Exporting might be a problem, but that's another story.

In the 1700's slavery was eliminated in Europe, mostly due to religious reasons. Slave traders operated from the Barbary coast (muslim North Africa), raiding both the coasts of Europe and the black African territories.

The slavery question is a rather huge subject, and some details may be gruesome- eg all the slaves (and there were milions) exported to China (usually from Zanzibar or via Arabia) were castrated. One of the reasons why there are no "AfroChinese" today
