At the same time, he concluded that Africans were selected because they were more adept to warmer climates and to prevent Arabs from gaining a foothold on the continent. This is because, Arab slave traders were common and increasing their use of slaves from Africa to build their own empires (i.e. The Ottoman Turks). Evidence of this can be seen with him saying, "Islam did more to expand slavery, than reverse it. The demand for slaves in the Islamic heartland remained high throughout the course of history. As the Spanish and Portuguese explored the new world, they needed a way to produce and deliver natural resources. The problem was that there were competing interests from Islamic society who were extending their reach into parts of Africa.

These insights, are illustrating a change in worldviews and the various feelings associated with the legacy of slavery. (Patterson) (Harlan)

Slavery and Caste Systems When Repressive Policies Linger Slavery in the United States, apartheid in South Africa, and the Indian caste system are now all illegal. However, this does not mean that the consequences of these systems of violence against people have vanished.

Apart from mistreatment and displacing native Americans, they enslaved millions of Africans, which is one of the worst mistake which has ever happens in the history of
