Yes I thoroughly enjoyed this video. I find that this is factual, but only to a point in human history. Let me explain please.
I think the history of slavery goes far further back. It started with a person I'll call Zzz, because I have no idea what this person's name might have been. Zzz because my imagination describes this person as habitually lazy person, desirous of using others time and energy to do their own. Zzz as the human race started to congregate in groups for security sake came upon the realization that the natural forces of nature that were, and mostly still remain uncontrollable by humans, could be used to control the group Zzz was amongst for the purposes of power over, and control of the others. And so Zzz invent gods representing these fearsome elements that only this Zzz person could communicate with in behalf of the group that would cower into their caves whenever a wrathful element or fierce animal descended upon them. Once this was accepted by the group in majority they then enslaved themselves. Hence the beginnings of slavery to another and the institutions that followed was the acceptance of those earliest humans. Perhaps it was the conquering of fire that changed some minds, but religion and governance were established as a power, and with the greed within them slavery in all forms became subconsciously acceptable. Codes and laws were established, and this video begins.
Today we see it here in the USA and elsewhere in the form of dictatorships which are more often than not prescribed under oligarchy control who rules by means of wage slavery, and the fear for individual and familiar survival. Of course the push towards conspicuous consumption plays a big part by putting wages earned back into the pockets of the oligarchy. The contrived continuence of religions power within governments, enforcing the human psychological fear conditioning of power brokers. Religions base element of fear mongering is a relavant power tool used by the power brokers as well. It's all based on the utilization of coercion through innate human fears for security. That little reptilian piece of our brains (flight, fight, freeze, that when we don't apply logic to situation, we submit to causation rather than look to solution and action that enslaves the human race/society.
An industrial fascist and Nazi sympathizer once said that it is good that the public has little understanding of the banking system, ie monetary system, because if they were to, there would be revolution by morning. For those readers who don't understand what I'm saying; an oligarchy controlled government is rule through and by wealth consolidation.
Man my mind is on a run, and this comment is already lengthy. So I'll end with the wishing if Peace and Tranquility for All
Most of that that poses ill upon humanity is created by some human(s, and the acceptance of others. Are we so feeble, or apathetic that we prefer self-accepted slavery to a marginal few rather than exert the the brain to its fullest to be unshackled from the corruption of but a few who's financial quest are ethically out of context to a free society.

Very good material! Just throwing my two cents in now. One could argue that with the slavery of the 16th up to the early 19th century we (that's indeed us Europeans and American settlers) perfected slavery where the numbers and the output of labor was concerned. One could even say that we made slavery a full blown commercial commodity. And with that came the much darker, inhumane cruel aspect of it. Which also became much stronger. And. with that. came awareness! Because it was also us Europeans, American settlers who came to the conclusion that this could not go on! No, I am not claiming that we invented the anti-slavery movement. We just learned! And eventually we abolished slavery. But this also begs the question why there is still up to this day human trafficing, which is also slavery. And kid-soldiers who are also slaves. Still up to this day and our modern awareness and laws slavery is still a global problem.

We also must consider that slavery can possibly go back to at least to the last ice age. When the conquistadors arrived in America they found slavery, in fact some shipwrecked survivors became slaves of the native Americans. This suggest one of two possibilities. First, slavery independently developed in America the same time as Europe, Asia, and Africa. Second, slavery already existed when the first Americans arrived during the pleistocene. Interesting and fun to think about.

Basic historical slavery, and biblical slavery is much different and more human than chattel slavery. Pre-euro slavery didn't dehumanize the slave. European slavery eliminated humanity. As for reparations expecting the offender to do an accurate account of what is owed is not wise. There is an accurate accounting done by an incorruptible source with the power to collect. are you aligned with that source?

You'd better say even BEFORE there was a civilization there was slavery.
The difference is that slavery was completely accepted at that time aka the winner takes all.
The ancient Egyptian chronicles tell about Egyptian pharao's who rewarded soldiers with slaves, land and other items.
The idea that it is NOT acceptable to enslave other people is a rather modern concept.

The first ever slaves were humans to the Sumerian gods BEFORE THE GLOBAL FLOOD. Psalm 82, Jude 1: 6, Genesis 6: 1-4
After the flood, Nimrod used forced labor to dig the ruins of the flood out of the mud and rebuild, as well as bullworks for Babylon.
This Nimrod began slavery in Egypt later conquered by Nubians, conquered by Greeks, conquered by Romans. All had slaves!

Slavery is known to have existed as early as the Shang dynasty (18th12th century bce) in China. It has been studied thoroughly in ancient Han China (206 bce25 ce, where perhaps 5 percent of the population was enslaved. Slavery continued to be a feature of Chinese society down to the 20th century.

Does India still have slavery?
The Global Slavery Index estimates that on any given day in 2016 there were nearly 8 million people living in modern slavery in India. In terms of prevalence of modern slavery in India, there were 6. 1 victims for every thousand people.

Glad you mentioned that not all people had slaves cause just off the top of my head I can think of a dozen or more people for whom slavery wasnt feasible and a few where it was a huge sin that your ancestors would turn their backs on you for owning a person.

The reason slavery has died out in the last 250 years is less because we discovered it was bad and more due to the industrial age and the proliferation of labor saving devices. Prior to this time almost all work was accomplished through human labor.

The beginning is correct it covers ALL of humanity. No one people group or however one describes Homo sapiens has escaped. Exploited and exploiter can be found among all of us. Good job, truth is not always P. C.

It wasn't the white man who sold the black man to the white man now was it? The Dutch started it anyway. My kin were Ohio sharpshooters on Sherman's March burning and killing the south into submission.

Slavery is still legal in the US. The thirteenth amendment banned the private ownership of slaves. It made it a Government monopoly. THe Government is allowed to keep slaves and use forced labour.

Ever since there were the concept of (intramural) punishment for violation of order maintaining rules and that of (extramural) war with explicit intent of violation, there was slavery.

The Codes of Nesilim is from the Hittites. Hittites are Indo-europeans, who are culturally much more humane than Semites, like the Assyrians or today the Jews and Arabs.
