Was there any slavery of white people that actually compares to the transatlantic slave trade? I’m not baiting or anything actually genuinely curious and want to know.

Enslavement of the Jews, gays, Roma, political prisoners and working them to death during WW2, enslavement of Russian political dissidents in the Gulag, enslavement of the Uighers in western China at present, Korean “comfort women” taken as sex slaves for Japanese WW2 troops; all are more recent than 19th century agricultural slavery in Mississippi. All were genocidal, with the extinction of the enslaved populations as the final goal. There was no intention to exterminate black slaves in the US. To the contrary, slaves were costly and their labor was needed. The financial incentives were for slave owners to keep their slaves alive and healthy.
