Reply to comment by breckenridgeback in ELI5: Why is exercise good to lower high blood pressure? Your blood pressure rises while exercising, so how does that not have the same effect as high blood pressure while resting? by jeezwill

Reply to ELI5:Why is barbary slave trade never talked about in mainstream history? by yolofreeway
The Atlantic Slave trade is directly reflected in the Caribbean Islands, Brazil, the U.S., ets. It was a foundational event for the fabric of many nations in the western hemisphere. So it has elevated importance in the histories of nations in the Americas. The Barbary slave trade comes up in U.S. history when discussing Thomas Jefferson’s management of the U.S.’s first foreign military conflict. It also is taught in World History courses.
