In early America, mostly. In the world, absolutely not. Our word "slave" comes from the world "slav," a European (white) people who were apparently taken as slaves a lot back in the day. Slaves could also be captured enemy soldiers of any nation, especially in the ancient world, when slavery was extremely common. Later on, kidnapping African tribesmen became the most profitable form of slavery.

Slaves were worth a lot of money because they can do a lot of work and many people wanted slaves to work under them, so slave trade increased and as that increased trade with Muslim merchants increased!!! AMAZING!!! If they (slaves) were in Africa, they were lucky because they had a little chance to escape to liberty. They had to work hard or marry a free person to be exposed to liberty!!!

They could range from 2000 denarii to 6000 denarii. But later the boy slaves where lots of denarii!!!
George Washington was quite wealthy. Most of his net worth was in land, real property and slaves.
Many slaves were taken to Slave Markets where they were auctioned off in a manner similar to horses or cattle. They fell in the same category of movable property called chattel. Sometimes, slaves were sold privately or traded between one slave owner and another. Slaves with highly desirable skills were worth more than farm hands who preformed manual labor.
Slaves were inspected upon arrival in America by slave traders or ship captains, who examined their physical condition, strength, and health. This inspection process helped determine their worth and sale value to potential buyers.
Imagine you are slave. A person owned by another person and you are offered freedom. The reason so many slaves used the Underground Railroad to escape is because they wanted to be free. It was worth the risks. The people brought as slaves had lives, education, and were warriors in their worlds. Some would rather die than live as a slave.
Masters did not want slaves to know their age because it could empower them with a sense of time and history, potentially leading to a stronger sense of identity and resistance to oppression. Slaves knowing their age could also help them calculate the worth of their labor and challenge the master's control over their time and labor.

Manumission is a legal term for freeing one's slaves. In many southern states manumission was forbidden by law, or only permissible by will, meaning the slave owner could only free his slaves at his death by so specifying in his will. But, slaves were expensive and valuable, and often worth more than the land they worked, so, few large slave owners were willing to diminish the inheritance of their children by freeing a large portion of their net worth upon their death.
