Slavery is the condition of being owned or controlled by another.
Actual slavery is involuntary servitude as the property of someone else. Slaves are not free, independent individuals, but are subjugated or regulated by their owners. Slaves are normally used as unpaid workers or laborers.
The idea of slavery is often used metaphorically (as is imprisonment) when someone feels trapped or controlled by their circumstances. E.g. "a slave to his job", "a slave to Video Games".
Slavery is a system in which people are owned and forced to work without pay. It deprives individuals of their freedom, treats them as property, and often involves physical and emotional abuse. Throughout history, slavery has been a severe violation of human rights.
The political reason for slavery was to provide a cheap source of labor for agricultural production, mining, and other industries, thereby benefiting the economy and those in power. Slavery also reinforced the social hierarchy and power dynamics of the time, enabling certain groups to maintain control over others.

True. The Missouri Compromise of 1820 attempted to settle the issue of slavery in newly acquired territories by admitting Missouri as a slave state and Maine as a free state, while also establishing a line at 36°30' latitude where slavery would be prohibited in future states north of it. However, the underlying tensions over slavery eventually led to its unraveling.
