What is the difference between slaves and convicts and What is the difference between convicts and blackbirders and What is the difference between slaves and blackbirders?

Slaves were people who were forced to work without pay and were considered property. Convicts were individuals found guilty of a crime and sentenced to punishment, such as prison time or hard labor. Blackbirders were individuals who coerced or kidnapped people into forced labor, often in the context of the transatlantic slave trade. The key difference between convicts and blackbirders is that convicts were legally sentenced for a crime, whereas blackbirders were involved in illegal and often violent practices of capturing individuals for forced labor.
