Because it is the most recent large scale slavery in human history. Furthermore, Africans were forcibly transported from their land of Africa in slave ships that journeyed far away into new lands they had never known existed. This is another feature that makes black slavery unique and more recognised. Agreed 100%. In the Roman Empire, anyone could be a slave, from from black Africans to white Germans. The latin word for slave was "servitus," but it became slave from the word "Slav" because of the large numbers of white Slavic people who were imported as slaves. After the rights of man were affirmed, slavery continued because blacks were judged as inferior. When the US Congress illegalized the importation of new slaves from Africa, it had two effects, both of them bad. 1) Slaves in the US were bred like livestock, and 2) an illegal market was created for the imprtation of new slaves. When a slave ship was approached by a USN warship, they did what a drug runner does when approached by a US Coast Guard cutter. They threw the evidence overboard, weighed down by their heavy chains. * After the Civil War, Confederate families under General Hood fled to Brazil where slavery was still legal. About half of them later returned to the US, but the descendants of the other half still reside in Brazil. They are somewhat dark-skinned now, but they meet annually in gray Confederate uniforms and 1860's dresses with hoop skirts to celebrate their unique heritage. Go figure.
