المستخلص: The present paper explores the history of the European and American enslaved captives in the Barbary state of Algiers with a background overview of slavery in Islam and how it gradually led to the disappearance of the practice of slavery. It also gives an account of slavery in the American South taking Frederick Douglass’s bibliographic account as a reference. The purpose of this study is to show the humane treatment that the Western captives in Algiers received despite the bias produced by the west against Islam. It further shows the brutal treatment against African slaves in the South while nobody blamed Christianity for it. This paper offers a comparison between too unlikely practices that could not be any more dissimilar, that of slavery in the American South and the slave captives in the Barbary regency of Algiers. Examining both types of slavery, we can see whether each form of slavery can permit some doors to freedom, and allow less suffering to the individual slaves or the captives. The captives in Algiers are by far treated more humanely than the slaves in the American South.
