Attempts to abolish Ottoman slavery and suppress the slave trade into the empire were launched during the second half of the nineteenth century but do not form a major theme of this chapter. Suffice it here to note that British efforts to induce the Ottomans to suppress the slave trade from Africa and the Ottoman government’s own actions against the traffic in Circassians and Georgians produced a significant reduction in the volume of the traffic toward the turn of the twentieth century. But these measures also pitted two value systems – the European and the Ottoman – against each other, producing a whole set of dilemmas for Ottoman intellectuals and statesmen.
The Ottomans argued that slavery in their empire, as in other Muslim societies, was fundamentally different from slavery in the Americas. It was, they asserted, considerably milder because slaves were not employed on plantations and were offered a real opportunity to integrate into Ottoman society through marriage and manumission. Slaves were generally well treated and, it was further maintained, regarded as family members. ” Slavery in these societies was believed to have been milder, better integrated, and more open to inclusion, hence its abolition occurred late and never constituted a major political issue.
Well into the nineteenth century, the Ottoman state still favored the interests of slaveholders, although it is hard to ignore the fact that its agents clearly displayed compassion in their treatment of hardship cases among the enslaved. Kindness and generosity were not infrequently bestowed upon enslaved persons pleading for the sultan’s mercy. At the same time, until the 1860s at least, the sultan’s officials seemed reluctant to grant freedom when demanded by enslaved people on the basis of some claimed entitlement.
