its incredibly loose to think a family that has had a fuedal contract with a lord to hunt their land for 5 generations is the same thing as a white man ripping the teeth out of a black mans head just because he can. like if you're going to call any degree of discrepancy in the power balance slavery then the word is completely pointless. modern americans are slaves because they cannot possibly negociate their wage from a position that can't be argued to be duress. no, fuedal serfs were not slaves unless you are clinically retarded.
