Seth, great set of comments on 14-15 century slavery and beginnings in this 1/2 of the globe. It would be interesting to actually investigate the slave trade of what was Poland, Ukraine, the Balkans prior to even the 1400. I was always under the impression that Slavic tribes were the slaves of the Roman and early Ottoman empires...a thought to ponder about the 20th and now 21st century conflicts and former Soviet rule, the quest of the 3rd Reich...and now the Putin discussion. books on history..
