How was slavery under the Ottomans and Islam in general compared to the U.S, was it more humane or were they just as bad if not worse?

they got some sort of medieval eugenic shit going on, children were taken as slaves and brainwashed into ottoman military life, culture and education which produced produced infantry corps officer as well as civilian administrators and high-ranked viziers. this level of social advancement was miles ahead compared to say other european feudal serfs or slave at the time. it is still still slavery and brainwashing no matter how turks try to spin it though
Jason Young
forgot to say that this shit caused their downfall in the long run

Take them all as slaves and not letting the smart progress and be priviledged put them in a negative selectivr program.
Try again.

read that list of the ottoman grand vizier again and count how many people were from the devshirme, hell these people pretty much controlled the empire at some point and could threaten and assasinate the sultan
Dominic Price
still, majority of viziers were Turk.
Michael Rogers

William Roberts

Cirsassian girls were best sex slaves

The term caucasian came from them after all.
They were seen as the whitest of whites.

Basically slavery in the royal palace was done in a few ways.
You had the Enderun which as this user showed trained the elite infantry and statesmen from poor converted christian boys.
Reason for this was so that they could be a counterbalance to the turkic sipahi landholders which were the knight equivalent within the empire and another reasoning behind it was that it would at the end improve the lives of those poor farmboys.
Ofcourse there was also domestic slavery which was basically the same as the roman and greek model where slaves were used in the household as maids or if the slave was a pretty girl as sex slaves.

muslism were still raiding europe for slaves in the 19th century.
Angel Turner
Europeans were still raiding other countries for slaves in the 20th century

Lel, even the majority of scientists in the Ottoman Empire weren't even Turkic. Turks really do contribute nothing to humanity.
Brody Murphy
What kind of stupid question is that? Europeans didn't even consider their slaves as human.
Ottomans educated their "slaves" and put them in powerful positions. At the end of it it were those same "slaves" that defended the system to the extend where they threatened to even kill the Sultan if he abolished the devshirme system.
How is that even close?

Muslims wouldnt have stopped either if the French hadnt conquered them
As a matter of fact, many muslim countries are still slavers nowdays (ISIS, Dubai, Saudi Arabia...)
Oliver Cox
Rape babies are a meme.
Andrew Bennett

Michael Phillips
Ask your mother if you dont believe me, well an important part of your mom's bulls were african but still
