When was it exactly decided that slavery was suddenly le bad?
>>18656354There was never a single, exact moment when the world decided slavery was bad; rather, moral opposition grew gradually during the late 18th and 19th centuries through a mix of religious movements, slave revolts, and economic shifts.
>>18656354>was suddenly le bad>An estimated 49.6 million to 50 million people live in modern slavery today. This represents the highest absolute number of enslaved people recorded in human history.Tomorrow-ish?

>>18656354Sarcasm aside, the late 18th century saw the birth of the abolitionist movement.
>>18656354Didn't that guy murder his wife
>>18656610His wife maybe dormant black mistress with whip
>>18656610Something like that. They'd have you believe that happened for lolz.
>>18656354In the US, by the 1800s, most people outside the South agreed it was bad. The transatlantic slave trade was banned immediately after independence, and most Northern states abolished slavery by the 1800s. In those states, there was little resistance against abolition, it was only a big deal in the South. Southern states, which were controlled by plantation owners, were very unified in protecting their slavery, and essentially held the country hostage. They could deadlock Congress, sabotage presidential elections etc., so it was always easier to appease them until the CW. Arguably, slavery gained support in the mid-19th century, at least legislation became more pro-slavery, and the abolitionist movement can be seen as a reaction to that.
>>18656354>>18656687When you look at that timeline, it's clear that by the turn of the 18th-19th century, Western elites were unified in opposing slavery. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_abolition_of_slavery_and_serfdom#1800%E2%80%931829States that otherwise completely opposed each other banned slavery at around the same time. The only reason it took longer in some places was that immediate liberation of slaves was not always seen as practical, and there was one exception where Napoleon re-introduced slavery in a limited form in response to a political and economic crisis (he also banned the slave trade).
>>18656354when wage slavery became more profitable
>>18656354Slavery became increasingly frowned upon as the centuries went by due to Christian morality
>>18656354It literally never was>slaveryForcing white men to labor under horrific conditions is common even today (see military drafts)>lashingsCommon punishment of it’s time. Everyone got whipped. If you were a white soldier, sailor, or servant (not to mention criminals), you could be punished by lashings and even execution for mild disobedience. The suffering of slaves was not unique in this regard.>death during transit (cramped conditions, diseases, hunger and thirst)Literally the defining trait of 18th and 19th century sailing. Slave ship crews had a higher mortality rate than the cargo. There was nothing inherently more abhorrent or evil about slavery than any other pre-modern part of life. It’s literally just ‘white people bad’ bullshit that didnt appear until 2016.
