Muslim slaves had the freedom to become even caliphs of the whole Islamic realm; just like the Mamluks:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mamluk
Quote:Mamluk (Arabic: مملوك, romanized: mamlūk (singular), مماليك, mamālīk (plural), translated as "one who is owned",[2] meaning "slave",[3] also transliterated as Mameluke, mamluq, mamluke, mameluk, mameluke, mamaluke, or marmeluke) is a term most commonly referring to non-Arab, ethnically diverse (mostly Turkic, Caucasian, Eastern and Southeastern European) slave-soldiers and freed slaves to which were assigned military and administrative duties, serving the ruling Arab dynasties in the Muslim world.[2][4][5][6][/url]
The first empire to ever defeat the infamous Mongols was the Mamluki Muslim empire:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Ain_Jalut
Quote:The Battle of Ain Jalut ([url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arabic_language]Arabic: معركة عين جالوت, romanized: Ma'rakat ‘Ayn Jālūt), also spelled Ayn Jalut, was fought between the Bahri Mamluks of Egypt and the Mongol Empire on 3 September 1260 (25 Ramadan 658 AH) in southeastern Galilee in the Jezreel Valley near what is known today as the Spring of Harod (Arabic: عين جالوت, romanized: ‘Ayn Jālūt, lit. 'Spring of Goliath'). The battle marked the height of the extent of Mongol conquests, and was the first time a Mongol advance had ever been permanently beaten back in direct combat on the battlefield.[13][14]
Our slaves were our brothers and sisters, not like Uncle Tom.
(Bold mine)
And that makes it better somehow?
