Slavery Lessons the Anti-White Establishment
Will Not Teach Our Children
Slave Trade is to be given wide prominence in schools from this term
onwards — but the million Europeans who were enslaved by Muslims
in North Africa between 1530 and 1780 will be ignored.
The untold story of the million whites enslaved by non-whites is covered
in a new book by Robert Davis, professor of history at Ohio State
University. He developed a unique methodology to calculate the number
of white Christians who were enslaved along Africa’s Barbary Coast,
arriving at much higher slave population estimates than any previous
studies had found.
Most other accounts of slavery along the Barbary coast didn’t try to
estimate the number of slaves, or only looked at the number of slaves
in particular cities, Davis said.
Most previously estimated slave counts have thus tended to be in the
thousands, or at most in the tens of thousands. Davis, by contrast, has
calculated that between 1 million and 1.25 million European Christians
were captured and forced to work in North Africa from the 16th to
18th centuries.
Davis’s new estimates appear in the book Christian Slaves, Muslim
Masters: White Slavery in the Mediterranean, the Barbary Coast,
and Italy, 1500-1800 (Palgrave Macmillan).
