African slavery was treated entirely differently from Circassian slavery in Egypt

Evidence

It was also clear that, by the middle of the nineteenth century, increased Russian hegemony over the Caucasus Mountains and ensuing struggles with Circassian populations had cut off most of the potential supply of those slaves, so that the remaining few came from within Anatolia itself. But African slavery was treated as an entirely different matter in Egypt. Ismä`ïl’s efforts to expand Egyptian authority beyond the source of the Nile into East Africa coincided with the close attention that British abolitionists were paying to the trade in African slaves. Imperialism, nationalism, and abolitionism found yet another location to fight for: the Nile Valley. — Eve M. Troutt Powell, A Different Shade of Colonialism_…, 651
