Slavery dates back to prehistoric times.

It was modeled on the domestication of animals.

It has been found in the earliest periods o recorded
history in the most advanced regions.

All of the earliest cultures had slavery.

The first system of written laws known to us, Hammurabi's Code, recognized slavery.

Percentages of slaves in the early civilizations were very small.
The reason that the slave percentages were small was because male captives from war were usually killed and only the women and children were kept.

Only a handful of societies made slavery a dominant labor force.

The first true slave societies emerged in Ancient Greece between the 6th and 4th centuries.
In Athens, during this time, a third or half of the population were slaves.

There were more slaves then citizens in Sparta, which is what led to them being a military city state so they could control the slaves if they decided to revolt.

Rome became even more dependent upon slaves.

Our modern ideas of freedom, equality, and democracy came from these early slave societies.

Most early civilizations lacked the word for freedom. It was the slave societies which gave meaning to the word.

How Does one become a slave?

War is the main source of supply, and wars are frequent and brutal in early civilizations.
When a town falls to a hostile army, it is normal to take into slavery those inhabitants who will make useful workers and to kill the rest.

There are several other ways in which slaves are acquired. Pirates offer their captives for sale. A criminal may be sentenced to slavery. An unpayable debt can bring the end of liberty. The impoverished sell their own children. And the children of slaves are themselves slaves - though with a cheap supply of labour available through war, not many owners will allow their slaves the diversion of raising a family.
