Helots
The person often associated with being captured and enslaved by the Spartans is the character known as "the Helot" or "Helots," who were a subjugated population in ancient Sparta. Helots were primarily the enslaved descendants of the original inhabitants of Laconia and Messenia, forced to work the land and serve Spartan citizens. In popular culture, such as the movie "300," the character of Dilios, a Spartan warrior, is portrayed, but the broader context involves the systemic enslavement of the Helots by the Spartan state.
The Spartans. Lacademonians. Because they had helots to work all other trades needed. Unlike any other Greek polis they enslaved fellow greeks.
In ancient Athens, household work was primarily performed by female family members, including wives and daughters, as well as by enslaved individuals. In contrast, Spartan society relied heavily on a system of helots—subjugated people who worked the land and performed domestic tasks—allowing Spartan citizens to focus on military training and governance. Both city-states thus had distinct systems for managing household responsibilities, with significant reliance on enslaved labor.
In Sparta, the status of the helots resulted from the conquest and subjugation of the neighboring Messenian population. After defeating Messenia in the 8th century BCE, the Spartans enslaved the Messenians, turning them into helots who were forced to work the land and support the Spartan economy. This system allowed Spartans to focus on military training and governance while maintaining a constant fear of helot revolts, which shaped Spartan society and its militaristic culture.

Yes to a certain point. Like when the Spanish people came to the new lands to search for gold they used the natives for help. They also enslaved the native Americans in some places, forcing them to work mines and fields, or made them into fuedal peasants.

NO he made the native Americans be his slaves and whipped them if they didn't work fast enough
the native Americans on the land had to work for the new owner, and the colonist agreed to house and feed them
