History of Slavery

In the distant past, people often slaughtered their enemies but sometimes they were taken prisoner and used as slaves. In the Ancient World, slavery was common. The Ancient Egyptians kept slaves. So did the Greeks and the Romans. Some Roman slaves were household slaves who worked in their master's homes. Others worked on farms and some were skilled craftsmen. Slaves who lived in mines probably had the harshest and most unpleasant lives. (Their lives were often short too). localhistories.org/a-brief-history-of-slavery
