Has anyone in human history besides the Americans ever fought a war where one of the stated objectives was to end slavery?

50 people have been killed by vending machines since 1978. Most are top-heavy, and weigh between 600 and 1100 lbs. It only takes a 20% tilt to topple the average vending machine upon you. If you get hosed by that coke that didn't drop and go to make that shake/tip move, reflect on how embarrassing it is going to be in your St. Peter interview if this happens to you.

It was not illegal to execute a prisoner by burning alive in the US until 1893. The burning alive method of execution wasn't even challenged at the time. It became outlawed in a ruling by the Supreme Court over whether hanging was cruel and unusual, and in ruling that it was, they majority decision mentioned that burning alive wasn't. (The last person actually burned alive for a crime in the US was a slave executed this way in 1830 after being convicted of an alleged rape in SC that year.)

A far cry from what happened with Sons of Africa.
