question - in what ways did slavery in americas differ from slavery in africa, ancient greece and rome, or in other places in time?
ANSWER : Slavery in Americas differs from slavery in Africa, ancient Greece, and Rome because slavery in America was when white owners bought, sold, and traded African American slaves. This owners force them to do what they were told to do such as farm work, cane cutting, and cotton picking. Men and women were hired or bought for sex. They also had to stand and watch their children be sold.Slavery in Africa was when a slave was enslaved in order to pay off a debt or pay for a crime.Slaves in Africa lost the protection of their family and their place in society through enslavement. But eventually they or their children might become part of their master's family and become free. Slavery in ancient Greece was really popular. There may have been as many, if not more, slaves in Greece than free people. Slaves were domestic servants, factory workers, shopkeepers, mine workers, farm workers,and as ship's crew members There were many different ways for a person to become a slave. They might have been born into slavery as the child of a slave. They might have been taken prisoner if their city was attack.They might have been exposed as an infant, meaning the parents abandoned their newborn baby upon a hillside or at the gates of the city to die or to be claimed byb a passerby. Another way to become a slave is if the family needed money they might sell one of their children into slavery. Usually it was a daughter because the male children were much needed to help out with the chores or farm. Kidnapping was another fairly common way in which one could have been sold into slavery. Slavery in Rome was really important, without slaves the wealthy of Rome would not have been able to lead the lifestyles that they wanted to. Who were the slaves? They were people who were frequently captured in battle and sent to Rome to be sold. Abandoned children could also be brought up as slaves. Also fathers could sell their older children if they were in need of money. A wealthy Roman would buy a slave in the market.
