Slavery actually started much earlier than the 1600's. It can be traced back to a time before the pyramids were built. As early civilizations began to expand beyond their boundaries, laborers were needed to build roads, bridges, dams and borders. Slavery actually provided jobs and encouraged commerce between countries.
