520    "Slavery has existed since the origins of written history 
       and probably long before. It is discussed in the Hebrew 
       Bible which set standards for enslaving persons and 
       treatment of slaves. Excepting a few schools of philosophy,
       nearly all Greeks thought slavery was the natural 
       condition of many human beings. Most important among those
       Greeks advocating slavery were two of humankind's greatest
       minds, Plato and Aristotle. Enslavement of one with a 
       slave soul was considered just and freeing such a person 
       was considered unjust. The Romans ignored the Greek 
       philosophizing about slavery, but practiced it on a 
       massive scale, frequently enslaving captives from various 
       wars. Rome's greatest philosopher Cicero defended slavery.
       Rome was plagued by several servile revolts, the best 
       known of which was led by Spartacus. Slavery was practiced
       throughout Europe and the Middle East following the fall 
       of Rome. There was no racial dimension or consideration 
       until Spain and Portugal began to enslave native aborigine
       in the newly discovered Western Hemisphere. To save these 
       natives from involuntary servitude, the Church promoted 
       importation of Africans. Following decades of profitable 
       slave trade, England led the way in abolishing slavery. 
       Other nations followed, including the United States, 
       although that emancipation required a major internal war. 
       Southern slave holders consistently defended the 
       enslavement of presumed racial inferiors and claimed that 
       slavery was beneficial to them. Southern slave holders 
       produced volumes of literature supporting slavery, some of
       which referred to the Greek philosophers"--|cProvided by
