Talk:Abolition of slavery

Initial Version
Abolition of slavery (often simply abolition).

Someone, please write this article.

I'm not sure where to fit in the concept that war captives (combatants and non-combatants alike) are somehow "fair game" for enslavement, an idea at least as old as the Trojan War. I recall that Achilles pouted because he couldn't enjoy Briseis, his slave girl captive. I guess this was in the era when rape and pillage was considered a right. Should I ask Helga (see Eisenhower and German POWs), or would that be stirring up a hornet's nest? --Ed Poor
