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.
