Slavery has been going on for thousands of years, Americans are just self centered enough to believe it started here (and I am an American)!.

It started back when man first started to settle and cease to be nomadic!. There were things to be done, plow fields, work around the village, etc!. However at the same time there were also many competing villages!. The more warriors, hunters, farmers, etc that a village had the greater its chance to thrive!. So, in comes slavery!. Instead of just raiding a competing village for goods (meat, animals, weapons, clothes, whatever) they started taking the people as well and binding them into servitude!. Hence, slavery began!.!.!. and it still continues today for many of the same reasons (though they are now for thriving buisnesses instead of thriving villages!.!.!. but you get the idea)!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Slavery has been around since the dawn of time!.!.!. Much of it was a superiority thing, "my culture is better than yours, so you get to serve me" a lot of it came through war, the losers were forced to serve the winners!.!.!. It also stems from the need for cheep labor, it was easier to buy a cheep slave than pay a serf!.!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
