However, we don't know the basics. For example, when did slavery come into play? How did this way of treating “uncivilized” people like property become accepted, and what made it suddenly despised behavior?

It grew through the classical era, the Middle Ages and the modern era of Europe, spreading from the Norwegian coast to the beaches of Portugal. It subsequently developed massively in Africa, marking its territory in the empires of Ghana and Mali from the 13th to the 15th century. Eventually, slavery traveled across the seas to the Americas, evolving in the Caribbean islands, eventually challenging the morals of the United States.

Overall, Holabird argues that the Amistad case should not have happened in the United States since they had no authority.
