Read a history book Christians were the ones who started the movement to end slavery

jefferson raped his slaves. Human secularists do that, Injuns did the same thing. But you knew that because your animal spirit guide told you

"The whole commerce between master and slave is a perpetual exercise of the most boisterous passions, the most unremitting despotism on the one part, and degrading submissions on the other. Our children see this, and learn to imitate it." Thomas Jefferson

Most slavery can be traced to attitudes from the Middile East. However the worse racisim I have ever seen is in Mexico to other Mexicans or Indian reserves that live in tribal units.

"Egypt left no philosophical record, but Herodotus left a record of his shock at the contrast between the roles of Egyptian women and the women of Athens. He observed that Egyptian women attended market and were employed in trade. In ancient Egypt a middle-class woman might sit on a local tribunal, engage in real estate transactions, and inherit or bequeath property. Women also secured loans, and witnessed legal documents. Greek influence spread, however, with the conquests of Alexander the Great, who was educated by Aristotle."
