Not that Wikipedia is always an entirely accurate historical reference - but it's a good starting point:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_slavery
If an atmosphere of apologist is to continue - it should be global. Everyone needs to take a bite of the shit sandwich when it comes to slavery.
Or...we can simply acknowledge that wrongs happened - move on...and work towards ensuring it never happens again.
