Sorry, I to disagree a bit, but slavery left scars in the local culture of northeast.

You don't go far enough. Slavery held
all humanity in bondage (where we go one, we go all) until the Enlightenment and the steam engine. Once that practice was broken (thank the
English in 1833 and the
United States in 1863) progress turned into a literal skyrocket. Except in places where politics aren't separated from religion, and slavery persists.
The Greeks had slaves. The American Indians had slaves.There's as much a slavery today as ever in absolute terms, there're just vastly more people overall.
