you can't tell the difference from national institutionalized slavery and pedophilia? when you can understand the difference between these numbers below and 1660 LMK
There were an estimated 8 million or 9 million slaves in India in 1841. In Malabar, about 15% of the population were slaves. (so you can infer that it existed before this time as well at staggering rates)
The population of the Kanem (1600?1800) was about a third-slave. It was perhaps 40% in Bornu (1580?1890).
Between 1750 and 1900 from [
B]one- to two-thirds of the entire population of the Fulani jihad states consisted of slaves. [/B]
A slave market for captured Russian and Persian slaves was centred in the Central Asian khanate of Khiva. According to Sir Henry Bartle Frere (who sat on the Viceroy's Council), there were an estimated
8 million or 9 million slaves in India in 1841. (once again inferring that it was huge in the 18th century as well from these numbers)
In the 18th and 19th century In Southeast Asia, a
quarter to a third of the population of some areas of Thailand and Burma were slaves.
An estimated 12 million Africans were shipped to the Americas from the 16th to the 19th centuries. Of these, an
estimated 645,000 were brought to what is now the United States.
According to the 1860 U.S. census, 393,975 individuals owned
3,950,528 slaves
The largest number of slaves were shipped to Brazil and it was the last of the Americas to abolish slavery.
You will have to do more research to figure this out. I don't think you will be able to get an accurate count. There were just too many and I don't think that there was a really hard number kept.
Here is an excellent site with tons of info if you want to wade through from multiple sources just keep going down and down and down
