Slavery was invented in the United States (Allegedly)

Some more nonsense courtesy of the 'Science Adviser' for Coast2Coast AM...

Quote:

“Most of my students could not tell me anything meaningful about slavery outside of America,” Pesta told The College Fix. “They are convinced that slavery was an American problem that more or less ended with the Civil War, and they are very fuzzy about the history of slavery prior to the Colonial era. Their entire education about slavery was confined to America.”

A less biased source confirming/disproving this would be welcome.

Though I would say that the story does fit in with many jokes told about the United States education system and with the way many Conspiracy Theorists seem to think the World ends at the continental borders of the United States.
