I presume you're referring specifically to southern plantation slavery in the US
Which is a very narrow period and a small number of individuals involved in a macro/global historical view.
I don't think the slaves that build the pyramids, were taken from the Slavic countries, or were captured by rival tribes the world over ever thought they were promised any wages.
The overwhelming majority of slaves throughout history were slaves by conquest, no coercion or enticement.

I agree. Diversity is our strength. We should apply this philosophy at home in our jobs, schools, and neighborhoods.
