ancient slave trade
The '''slave trade''' began in 1455 in [[Africa]]. The [[Pope]] gave justification to enslave non-[[Christians]] in a [[papal bull]]. It became an important part of Africa's economy. It did not come to an end until 1800-1865 with the work of Christians; [[William Wilberforce]] and [[John Wesley]]. The [[United States]] passed the [[13th Amendment]] in response to it.
Buying and selling of '''[[slaves]]''' was common in the ancient world, especialy within the [[Roman Empire]], but declined during the early [[Middle Ages]].
