Was the slaves that built the pyramids whipped?

well yes. Thousands of slaves toiled in the blazing Egyptian sun under the authority of hard whip wielding slave masters. The thong of the lash whistled through the air. Years of experience meant that an overseer rarely missed, it always found its target, as it coiled snake-like around the body of a naked slave. It left behind bruised, cruelly torn and often or not bleeding flesh.

Why do you think the slave revolt led by Spartacus was successful for two years?

The slave revolt led by Spartacus was successful for two years because of his strong leadership skills, strategic military tactics, and the unity among the rebel slaves. Spartacus was able to inspire and organize a large army of slaves who fought together against their oppressors, often outmaneuvering and defeating Roman forces. Additionally, Spartacus and his followers were able to secure resources and support from local communities, allowing them to sustain their rebellion for an extended period of time.

How did Spartacus impact the world?

Spartacus did not have much of an impact on the Roman empire. His figure was mythologised many centuries after the end of Roman civilisation by romantic intellectuals. We get minimal information about him from ancient Roman historians. He was one of the leaders (not the only leader) of the slave rebellion which has been called the Third Servile War (73-71 BC). The revolt scared the Romans, especially the senate. The slaves were successful for a couple of years against small forces of the Roman army and local militias and ravaged the countryside and pillaged a number of cities. However, it was finally suppressed by the deployment of a large amount of Roman troops. This was the biggest, but also the last slave rebellion in Roman history. Over time it got forgotten by the Romans.


Why do you think the slave revolt led by Spartacus was successful for two years?

the answer isn't easy. Spartacus managed to defeat both Publicola and Cliodanus without Crixus' help. I suppose in the final battle it was quantity that won over quality. Crixus had left Spartacus with thousands of rebels, and they were all killed, so Spartacus' army became smaller after their first defeat. Crassus brought 6 legions (54,000 Roman soldiers) to defeat Spartacus, so Spartacus had to use what he had left, which wasn't enough. Spartacus' army was trained but there were just too many Romans to fight in that final battle..

What the slave revolt in Haiti?

The slave revolt in Haiti, known as the Haitian Revolution, began in 1791 and was a pivotal conflict that led to the first successful slave uprising in history. Enslaved Africans in the French colony of Saint-Domingue rose against their oppressors, inspired by the ideals of the French Revolution. After years of brutal fighting, the revolution culminated in the establishment of Haiti as an independent nation in 1804, making it the first black-led republic and the second independent nation in the Americas. The revolution significantly impacted global discussions on slavery and colonialism.


Why was spartacus considered a hero?

Spartacus was a slave who was a gladiator. He was among gladiators who escaped from their gladiatorial schools and sparked a slave rebellion. Up to 20,000 slaves gathered into bands which ravaged the countryside, looted some cities, and defeated Roman army contingents and local militias for two years. Spartacus was one of the leaders of these bands. The rebellion was eventually suppressed with the deployment of eight legions (army corps). This was the third slave rebellion in Roman history and historians call it the Third Servile War (73-71 BC). Both Spartacus and the slave rebellion have been mythologized in fiction. The rebelling slaves are portrayed as freedom fighters fighting against the establishment and to end slavery. However, no account by ancient historians says that the aim of the rebellion was to fight the system or end slavery. They were probably marauding escapees. An ancient historian speculated that they wanted to flee to Gaul. The rebels and their leaders committed many atrocities. As for Spartacus being the champion of liberty who led all of the rebels as portrayed in fiction, this was not the case. He was one of the various leaders of the various bands and we have absolutely minimal information about him.
