Slavery began in ancient societies as a result of conquest, economic exploitation, and social hierarchies. Initially, it involved prisoners of war and debtors who were unable to repay their debts. Over time, slavery evolved into a system that included the forced labor of people based on race, particularly during the transatlantic slave trade, which saw millions of Africans forcibly transported to the Americas. This exploitation was driven by economic demands and deeply entrenched social and racial ideologies.
