A slave was owned by his master. He had no wages, no freedom and was bound to
serve him for life. A serf was tied to the land held by his lord. He could farm but he
could not share in the profits and could never leave his lord for a new one. A peasant would farm for his lord and did share to some extend in the profit but he could also sell his labour or anything like vegetables he grew aside from what he grew for his lord.
He had a better chance of actually becoming more than what he was than either a slave or a serf.
A peasant and a serf are the same thing entirely.
A peasant worked the land, but had freedom. A serf was bound to the land that they worked. They would live on the manor of a noble and work the land in exchange for food and protection.
