The Forgotten Slave Trade:- Simon Webb epub/mobi

The Forgotten Slave Trade: The White European Slaves of Islam - Simon Webb epub/mobi  Explains the role of the newly independent United States in putting an end to the trade in European and American slaves. Everybody knows about the transatlantic slave trade, which saw black Africans snatched from their homes, taken across the Atlantic Ocean and then sold into slavery. However, a century before Britain became involved in this terrible business, whole villages and towns in England, Ireland, Italy, Spain and other European countries were being depopulated by slavers, who transported the men, women and children to Africa where they were sold to the highest bidder. This is the forgotten slave trade; one which saw over a million European Christians forced into captivity in the Muslim world.
