Helots were a distinct class of unfree laborers in ancient Sparta who were tied to the land they worked on and were obligated to give a share of their produce to their Spartan masters. Slaves, on the other hand, were typically bought and sold as property with no rights or freedoms. Helots were more bound to their land and had some limited rights compared to slaves.
Historically, slaves have come from various races and ethnicities, depending on the region and time period. Slavery has been practiced in different cultures and societies around the world, with individuals from different racial backgrounds being subjected to slavery.
African slaves were not the first to work as slaves on plantations. Slavery has existed for thousands of years in various forms across different civilizations. In the Americas, indigenous peoples and Europeans also faced enslavement and forced labor on plantations before African slaves were brought over.
While treatment of slaves by Europeans was dehumanizing and brutal, African slave owners also mistreated slaves through practices like forced labor and physical abuse. However, some African societies had more complex relationships with slaves, including opportunities for social mobility or integration into households. Overall, the treatment of slaves varied across different African societies and was not uniform.
Native Americans and African slaves did not always get along. While some tribes and individuals formed friendships or alliances with enslaved Africans, others participated in the slave trade or even owned slaves themselves. Conflicts and tensions were also common between different groups as they navigated the complex dynamics of colonization and slavery in the Americas.
Slaves in different time periods and regions wore a variety of footwear styles depending on their circumstances, ranging from basic sandals or shoes made of rough materials to repurposed or hand-me-down shoes from their owners. Some slaves may have gone barefoot due to lack of proper footwear or being forced to work without shoes.

You are looking for the word Helot, however helots were not slaves, they were serfs, that is they were bound to their land, and produced half their produce to the Spartan government.
Spartan Slaves, or to be more accurate, serfs, were called helots. Sparta became the military state as most know it by today after a revolution of the helots, in which many Spartans died, but were able to gain control over the helots and began to build a viscous army
they called them helots!
the original meaning is people from vassals. Practically slaves. helots είλωτες (ilotes) from the word είλως - vassal
Assuming you mean `Sparta´, the ancient Greek State, the slaves there were called Helots.
