Yes, for freedom
The ancient writers say that Spartacus was a Thracian, so, if true, he would have lived in Thrace. (Ancient Thrace was loosely today's country of ROMANIA) However he was also a gladiator and the Thrax or Thracian was a type of gladiator. So its unclear if Spartacus was actually from the area of Thrace itself or if "Thracian" was his fighting style. Anyhow, right before his escape he was living in the gladiatorial school in Campania.
Yes
From what little we know of Spartacus, we can assume that he fought human animals. He was supposed to have been a Thracian soldier. If true, he would have been skilled in combat. He also could have been a "Thrax" or a "Thracian" gladiator which was a style of fighting. At any rate, neither one of these gladiatorial designations fought animals.
The name "Spartacus" is a Latin name. It had no nationality as such. The rebel gladiator Spartacus was said to be from Thrace and also was said to have served in the Roman army. Many auxiliaries either Latinized their names or changed them completely to a Latin (Roman) name.

The gladiators trained in their "ludi" or schools, under the instruction of their trainers, who were either ex-gladiators themselves, or specialists in some category of combat brought in by the owner of the school.
If Spartacus was his real name his parents gave it to him, just as our parents name us. If it was a name given to him by the owner of his gladiatorial school, it was more than likely a name associated with a Spartan, which has a connotation of a strong fighter.
Spartacus was not accused of anything. He was part of some 200 gladiators who escaped from a gladiatorial school and during the course of their escape enlisted thousands of slaves and fought Roman militia and small army units.
Its obvious that Spartacus did not like his job. He started a revolt to break away from it.Its obvious that Spartacus did not like his job.

After Spartacus escaped from the gladiatorial school in Capua, he initially sought refuge in the volcanic region of Mount Vesuvius. The rugged terrain provided a natural fortification, allowing him and his followers to regroup and plan their next moves. The area served as a strategic hideout as they gathered more supporters and resources for their revolt against Roman oppression.

Yes
Spartacus was a Thracian gladiator who led a major slave revolt against the Roman Republic known as the Third Servile War (73-71 BC). He initially escaped from a gladiatorial school and gathered a large following of escaped slaves and discontented workers. Spartacus achieved several significant victories against Roman forces but ultimately was defeated. His revolt highlighted the harsh conditions of slavery in Rome and inspired future generations in the struggle for freedom.
Spartacus was a Roman slave and gladiator who was the head of a slave rebellion against the Romans. He was very successful for a long time. That's about all we know about him. Historians are not even sure if Spartacus was his real name or a "stage name" he used during his gladiatorial career. They think he was a Thracian prisoner of war, but again, not sure of that either.
The gladiators spent their day training at the gladiatorial school.
