Because in Europe slavery disappeared with the spread of Christianity, and the last traces of it are lost in the 12 century. In the United States slavery existed in 18th and 19th centuries.
In other words, Americans introduced slavery at a time when Europe many centuries ago said good-bye to these survivals of antiquity, and also went to the establishment of democratic institutions, equalizing the rights of the various groups. American slavery, thus, was not a leftover from the antiquity, but an innovation of the Anglo-Saxons, who wanted to realize their dream of building a "City upon a Hill".
Except that slaves had to do the building- Don't forget the 3/5 of a vote BS. I can't believe my friend didn't know that one.kgvs72
