Incidentally, showing how far behind I am. The Portuguese Empire invented the business model of using Slave Labour in Sugar Plantations on the Atlantic island of Madeira, just off of Africa's Slave Coast.

So it's arguable that their practice of using locally captured Slaves also started The Atlantic Slave Trade.

No doubt the British divisions of Black Lives Matter will be upset to learn. Particularly about how while Britain participated in Slavery, a practice as old as time, it was the first country to make it illegal and actually enforce the ban.
