Slavery has existed in numerous societies throughout history, from ancient civilizations to the transatlantic slave trade that forcibly transported millions of Africans to the Americas. Its legacy continues to influence social, economic, and political structures in many alternate history scenarios, where its earlier abolition or prolonged existence often serves as critical divergence points.
