There are far too many folks about there from a certain demographic that love to use the “There’s slavery all over the world” argument whenever confronted with discussing atrocities committed by American whites not only during the era of slavery, but for the following century of domestic terrorism, murder, property damage and theft.
“There was slavery in Russia and Asia, and everywhere—“ yeah, no shit. Oxygen is breathable— what’s your point? 😏
The fun thing about writing these books was learning about so many aspects of American and World history (Africa, Europe, Asia, South and Central America, etc.). It was also fun to try to figure out how what the works would actually look like without, more specifically, the African Trans-Atlantic slave trade (a global travesty).

Matt Walsh says he is glad black people are here and this guy says his fiction book gives "history". Literally said that. You should have chosen a better clip, man.
Do a better Steve Erkel.
Citing your fiction book as evidence….you guys get me every time!!!
I wonder what would’ve happened to America if colonists never overtook the land and massacred my ancestors
Brotha it's a canon event
Peace God
So basically if slavery never happened the other option was death by natives lovely also he said things would go bad for everyone and I do agree and besides I promise you and I wouldn't have existed if slavery never happened not that that makes it any better but my parents parents never would have been born if not for slavery
Oddly enough Africa as a whole has never in its history contributed to the evolution of humanity. There have been no technological advancement ever to come from that continent. The people still largely live an aboriginal lifestyle less the areas that were colonized and influenced by European and Asian societies. And please spare me the nonsense of of arguing that the Egyptians were African. Where as the region for over 10 thousand years was considered Mesopotamia and largely European and at the time what would have been considered Arian which refers to ancient Iranian peoples. The Egyptians were also ruled my the Hyksos which when translated means “ rulers from foreign lands” and were recorded as having red hair and blue eyes.
So your point is moot.
And another fyi because the modern day African American for some reason believes that slavery was somehow exclusive to them, was a world wide phenomenon that has been occurring since the dawn of time I.e. recorded and prerecorded history.
It was never based on color it was based on the strong conquering the weak and using the conquered as slaves.
Also what you fail to realize and or are willfully ignorant to is the blunt fact that warring African tribes sold captured enemies to silvers and actually fought to keep slavery alive. Not to mention that there are more slaves in Africa today than there were ever in the United States even at it’s peak.
And the “atrocities “ that were committed against the native Americans were acts of war. Settlers were never welcomed with open armed they were met with immediate violence and hostility. They didn’t arrive to find a land full of peaceful people living one with nature and living in peace and harmony. They found a vicious and hostile people that had just stepped out of the stone age and in many respects were still living in it. Much the same as what they found on the sub Saharan African continent. So enough with the race nonsense. You were a technically and societally weaker people that were conquered in the same way one African tribe would conquer another. Slavery is a stain on the face of the earth not just America. We didn’t invent it here but around 300 thousand Americans died fight to stop it. WHITE AMERICANS mind you that made a sacrifice so that you could be on this platform now spewing your nonsense.
But that’s only one theory, there’s a lot of ideas of what would have happened if American slavery didn’t exist. Like for one, the European countries of Spain and Portugal wouldn’t have been as rich. But there also wouldn’t be that many black people to be in North and South America as a whole.
He is talking about the butterfly effect. It is impossible to know what would have happened or how things would have turned out. It is a safe bet there would be less black people in America though.
