XXII

Slavery (book)

Posted on 21st June 2020 by bazbt3 — No Comments ↓

I want to buy a book on world slavery. History lessons until high school were fascinating, especially when taught by a teacher I had my first ever crush on. The English Mediaeval period quickly became my favourite, the feudal system Continue reading Slavery (book)→
