Slave
White slavery was a systematic practice in the Mediterranean, the Barbary Coast, and Italy from 1500–1800.
Muslims targeted white, Christian Europeans from Britain, France, Italy, Spain, Holland, and the Americas.
The Barbary pirates' raids were so frequent that the coastline between Venice and Málaga was depopulated.
Nations, including the United States, paid tribute to the pirates to avoid their attacks.
