Apart from the slave trade, has there ever been a white slave trade in history?

Not only the black slave trade was notorious, but also the white slave trade prevailed in history. When it comes to the slave trade in modern history, people's first impression may be the slave trade. In fact, it is not. In the process of the global expansion of European capitalism, in order to make up for the shortage of labor, Europeans have not spared their own people, and many unfortunate whites have also become the targets of the slave trade. The slave trade of Europeans can be described as regardless of color, and black slaves and white slaves are all the targets of European capitalists.

The discovery of America and the disappearance of Native Americans made European capitalists reach out to their white compatriots. Since Columbus discovered America, the local indigenous Indians have been slaughtered by Europeans, and foreign diseases and Bayern's massacre have made the Indians go extinct. However, the rise of American plantations required a lot of labor, and the slave trade could not meet the demand of labor, so the white slave trade began to rise to meet the demand of American labor.

The sources of white slaves are mainly poor people in Britain and Germany. The lower-class people in Europe are also living in dire straits. Many poor European immigrants have to sell themselves to get tickets to America. At the same time, refugees and criminals who are not accepted by society are also sent to America as slaves, especially those who are on death row, so that they can escape the death penalty. In addition, the sale of human beings provides slaves for the white slave trade, which lasted for a long time in history before the rise of the black slave trade.

The slave trade should not exist in human society no matter what time it happened. The expansion of European capitalism is a history of bloodthirsty development, and today's glory in Europe is based on the annihilation of human nature in order to plunder it from abroad. Europe is not always advanced, so we should look at it critically. Even today, human trafficking still exists in the dark side of the world, and those poor lives are treated as commodities. I wonder if it is human sorrow and misfortune? I hope that the sale of human beings will end as soon as possible.
