Saying slavery started with the Spanish is hogwash, making the whole premise of this article bogus. Slavery goes back tens if not hundreds of thousands of years all over the world. In North and South America, natives have long enslaved other natives. For some examples see Native American slave ownership and Cherokee_freedmen_controversy#Slavery_among_the_Cherokee as well as Slavery in Africa. 70.161.8.90 ( talk) 19:49, 31 July 2021 (UTC) reply
