Slavery in America was a cake walk compared to slavery in Haiti, the rest of the caribean, and south America. Most slaves in those regions were worked to death(literally; most died before reaching 20) and treated with abject cruelty.

I don't condone or even make excuses for the treatment of fellow human beings like so much chattle, but if you really want to find shameful american history just google "trail of tears".
