This is an engaging and unpleasant look at the slave trade.
Compare how slavery was the norm for thousands of years and has only been abolished for less than 200 years. This doesn't speak well for humanity.
Even after abolition in the United States, the southern states used laws to enslave black persons. https://www.history.com/news/black-codes-reconstruction-slavery
This practice wasn't abolished until the mid 20nth century.
The Arab slave trade was huge. Barbary pirates would capture European and even American ships and enslave the passengers.
