Before slavery, there were no slaves. Historically, there was slavery in Mesopotamia, in Egypt, in the Roman Empire, and much later in equatorial Africa and among Native American tribes. Slaves were conquered peoples. Arabs and later Europeans bought slaves who had been captured by opposing tribes. Slavery was abolished in Europe and the US in the 19th century, but some forms of slavery still function in some areas of the world. Institutionally, the offspring of slaves were also slaves in many cultures.
Slavery wasn't even much of a problem then. Peasants were his slaves you can say... and of course he had no problem with that.

Slaves did not benefit from slavery.
A slave's view of slavery would likely be one of oppression, loss of freedom, and degradation. Slavery strips individuals of their basic human rights and autonomy, leading to a sense of helplessness and despair. It is a system that perpetuates inequality and perpetuates generational trauma.
Although slaves did have relatives, they did not have families as such; slavery did not allow for a normal family structure. Slaves fought for the end of slavery.

African slaves resisted slavery in various ways, including through rebellion, escape, feigning illness or incompetence, breaking tools or working slowly, practicing their culture and religion in secret, and forming communities for support and mutual assistance. These acts of resistance demonstrated their resilience and determination to maintain their humanity and fight against their dehumanizing treatment.
