Where did slaves come from and go to?

If you want to go back further - Pharoah used White slaves to build the Pyramids. There have been slaves in Asia and the Middle East throughout history. African American Slaves in the United States were bought in Africa from slave traders and shipped across the Ocean to the United States and European Nations. The slaves were kept here for generations where eventually the decendants of the original slaves fought and won for their freedom. Once they were free many decided to stay in the United States while others went back to Africa or other nations that were more friendly to their race and culture. There were also white slaves in Africa that were used for labor. Most of those came from crashed ships and merchants that would get stranded on or off the coast of Africa.
