Yes it did vary but pretty much a slave has the same meaning. A slave was condidered to be the property of someone else. They had no rights.They were held against their will and forced to do what their master said. Depending on how your master was you might had had it a little better than others. But pretty much all slaves had it bad.
Well it varied from country to country and owner to owner of course but my understanding is that they were generally treated much worse elsewhere. Although it should be noted that the other countries which practiced black slavery were mostly able to end the practice before we did and do it peacefully. The major exception being Haiti in which slavery was ended by the slaves themselves in a massive and bloody rebellion. Michael Montagne
PS
At least the descendants of black slaves in the British and Dutch West Indies got to run their own countries. Although the US has now got a black president he is not the descendant of plantation slaves a fact that people have overlooked.

Where all slaves from Africa?
In early America, mostly. In the world, absolutely not. Our word "slave" comes from the world "slav," a European (white) people who were apparently taken as slaves a lot back in the day. Slaves could also be captured enemy soldiers of any nation, especially in the ancient world, when slavery was extremely common. Later on, kidnapping African tribesmen became the most profitable form of slavery.
How were slaves treated in the ancient world?
While the practice of slavery was common throughout the ancient world, its character varied tremendously from society to society, even within the same society. Slaves could be treated very poorly, as though they were disposable or mere property; slaves might also be valued and treated as trusted members of the family. Some slaves could earn their freedom, while others could not. Some slaves were forced to perform menial labor (such as in mines or aboard galley-vessels), other slaves worked as public servants and even in the armies of their masters, and yet others served as respected teachers or physicians.
How were slaves treated good or bad?
slaves are always treated badlyAnswer:Many ancient civilizations had codified the treatment of slave. The bible (a Christian Holy Book) defines who may be enslaved, how they must be treated, how long they could be held as slaves, punishments for mistreating slaves, etc.). In the American South the popular view is that slaves were always mistreated. Slaves were however valuable property and a wise owner had to strike a balance between protecting his investment and output. In today's world where slavery still exists (for labour, soldiers or as sexual objects) slaves are often "free" to the taker and are used as disposable items.
