As normal human beings I imagine. It all depends on what country you are looking at. Almost every culture had a form of slavery established at one time or another. Slavery dates back to the B.C.s. and the institution is still around today (as sex slavery and other such forms). But, we all come from our mother's womb, so either you born into slavery because your mother and father are slaves or they have sold you into slavery, or you are born free and are taken in as a slave by someone else. In a lot of cases, prisoners of war would be sold as slaves. Women and children of a conquered tribe or city would also be sold into slavery. According to Encyclopaedia Britannica slaves from Western Africa that were traded in the Americas(circumCarribean) would have been exterminated by the slave brokers in Africa. Slavery was a way of life in Africa among the wealthy and rulers. However, they only wanted domestic slaves meaning women and children. The male slaves were considered too much trouble and were killed. So a beneficial arrangement was established between the slave brokers of Western Africa and the slave runners of the TransAtlantic Middle Passage. The slave owners in the Americas needed mostly strong young men to work the fields and the slave owners in Western Africa could dispose of their unneeded slaves and make money at the same time.
