Africans and Muslims were part of a worldwide consensus that viewed  
slavery as perfectly normal and morally acceptable. And for slave  
merchants a great way to make a living. One that was only ended by  
the intervention of Europeans and North Americans during the 19th and  
20th centuries. It should also be noted that Indians (both in India  
and the Americas) practiced slavery.
