Did you know that the word "slave" came from the fact that before the slaves were taken from Africa, people were taken against their will from the Slavic countries? So that is where we get the word "slave" from in English.
What did you learn today?

I am not so sure about that but we can always hope that there is not so much slavery.

@aninditasen I think slavery just exists in a different form these days. In the United States, for example, I think welfare is a form of slavery. The government essentially owns you and people become slaves to the benefits and the system does not encourage people to get off the dole.
