Speaking in terms of ancient history, people were made slaves because they were a source of inexpensive labor. They were also used as Roman gladiator games and as tutors to wealthy Romans. Moving from ancient history towards the 19th Century, people were made slaves for the same reason, cheap labor.

What was daily life like for slaves in the colonies?
What I think about people being enslaved in Louisiana is that it was horrible for Slaves that worked in Louisiana because they had to work and they were not paid. It was a good way for the captors to make money. The planters of Louisiana are greatly exercised concerning the continual escapes of their slaves and have held an important meeting at New Orleans about the labor question. After much angry talk and a good deal of abuse of the Government, of which they are "registered enemies," they seem to have agreed at last to pay their slaves wages. That's a sentence where they talked about how slaves were being paid wages Most masters were not good people they enslaved people. Even though Slaves got paid they did not get to live a good life as other people got too. I know slavery was bad because It's not right for people to be enslaved and slaves were crucially beaten and they were not treated right.

Muslims are another group of people who had slaves, too typically African. The Chinese are yet another group who held slaves. Most of these slaves were Slavs from Eastern Europe.
