<span>In the Arab world, which was the first to import large numbers of slaves from Africa, the slave traffic was cosmopolitan. Slaves of all types were sold in open bazaars. The Arabs played an important role as middlemen in the trans-atlantic slave trade, and research data suggest that between the 7th and the 19th centuries, they transported more than 14 million black slaves across the Sahara and the Red Sea, as many or more than were shipped to the Americas, depending on the estimates for the transatlantic slave trade.</span>
The inescapable fact that stuck in my craw was: My people had sold me ... . My own people had exterminated whole nations and torn families apart for a profit before the strangers got their chance at a cut. It was a sobering thought. It impressed upon me the universal nature of greed." And we might add, the universal nature of slavery.
African kings were willing to provide a steady flow of captives, who they said were criminals or prisoners of war doomed for execution.

This was later reverted as anyone with a clear head understood that nukes were not a good option.</span>

Explanation:
According to Dr. John C Green, debates actually matters in an election. However, the impact of debates comes in two different folds.
Firstly, those that actually watch the debate. These people get the information directly from the aspirants and it shifts their opinions about who they will vote for eventually.
On the other hand, are those that actually didn't watch the debate. These people often more than those that watch the debate, are influenced by the media narratives that come after the debates. And in a way, it also changes their opinions about whom exactly they would give their votes.
He however concluded that it is difficult to measure the impact of the debate on election outcomes. In his word "just because people get information does not mean they will be persuaded one way or another."
