Best Answer

It can never be known what society started slavery, who took the first slaves or who those slaves were.

Slavery has been a fact of life since before written history. All 'civilisations' have practised it.

It remains a problem even today
Slavery has been around since ancient times, indeed The Bible mentions slaves and slavery. Therefore we do not know where or when it originated.
