The Aztec civilization was a group of ethnic people who dominated the meso-american landscape from the 14th to 16th centuries. The Aztecs were not egalitarian (supporting universal rights for all people) as they had a class structure that included nobles, peasants, traveling merchants and slaves. You could become a slave in Aztec culture either through being captured in a war, having unpaid debts, or as a criminal punishment. Slaves could buy their liberty and were sometimes freed upon the death of their master.
