Indeed it was worse, as it was more widespread.  Bare in mind, slavery was only allowed in the United States in a very select area, among a relatively small population of the country. 


Roman slavery was not ethnic based.  The Ottomans only enslaved non-Muslims, who, even if not enslaved, were treated as second class citizens politcally, if not socially.




Explain this, please.  To my knowledge, in most Christian nations of Europe, slavery was not as institutionalized nor as widespread as it was in the Ottoman Empire.
