Forced labor involves individuals being coerced to work against their will, often under threat of punishment, without ownership of their person. In contrast, chattel slavery is a legal status where individuals are treated as property, bought and sold, with no personal rights or autonomy. While both involve exploitation and a lack of freedom, chattel slavery is characterized by permanent bondage and dehumanization, whereas forced labor can occur in various contexts without the same legal ownership aspect.
The slave is considered chattel - property - to be bought and sold in perpetuity like livestock. Once an individual becomes a chattel slave they are considered chattel for life. Not all forms of forced labor doom a person to slavery until the day they die. Many of them are only for a fixed period of time or until a fixed debt has been redeemed. Children born to chattel slaves are considered the property of the "owner" of the chattel slave just like a calf is the property of the owner of the cow. No other form of forced labor passes that status/lifetime-obligation down to the children.
Slavery has been a pervasive element throughout history, manifesting in various forms such as chattel slavery, forced labor, and indentured servitude across different cultures and societies. Despite its abolition in many countries, modern slavery persists today through human trafficking, exploitation of migrant workers, and child labor, affecting millions worldwide. These contemporary forms often exploit vulnerabilities and systemic inequalities, revealing the ongoing struggle against human rights violations. Efforts to combat modern slavery continue, emphasizing the need for awareness, legal frameworks, and global cooperation.
I believe it was slavery.
The two main types of slavery historically recognized are chattel slavery and debt bondage. Chattel slavery treats individuals as property that can be bought, sold, and inherited, often dehumanizing them and stripping away rights and identity. In contrast, debt bondage involves individuals working to pay off a debt, where their labor is tied to repayment, but they may retain some personal agency and rights. The key difference lies in the permanence and dehumanization in chattel slavery compared to the more contractual nature of debt bondage, although both systems exploit and oppress individuals.
Slavery ended legally in 1865. But today we still have slavery through sex trafficking, bonded labor, forced labor , or human trafficking
The term chattel means property. Indentured servitude means I own your labor for a set number of years. Chattel slavery means I own you, and can buy you, sell you, or do anything I want to you.

Landowners in the Chesapeake colonies turned to chattel slavery for labor because they needed a reliable and cheap workforce to cultivate labor-intensive cash crops like tobacco. Chattel slavery provided a consistent labor force that could be easily controlled and exploited for maximum profit.

Landowners in the Chesapeake colonies began using chattel slavery because indentured servants were becoming less available due to improved economic conditions in England, making it harder to recruit them. Chattel slavery provided a more reliable and long-term source of cheap labor for the labor-intensive tobacco plantations in the region.
Slaves are classified as individuals who are considered property, devoid of personal freedom and basic rights. Historically, slavery has been used as a form of forced labor and exploitation.
Chattel slavery was primarily used for forced labor in agricultural plantations, mining, domestic service, and other industries. Enslaved individuals were considered the legal property of their owners and could be bought, sold, or traded as commodities. This system was prevalent in many societies throughout history, most notably during the transatlantic slave trade in the Americas.
Land owners in the Chesapeake colonies began using chattel slavery primarily to address labor shortages in their tobacco fields. At the time, European indentured servants were becoming less available due to improving economic conditions in Europe. Chattel slavery provided a permanent and exploitable labor force, allowing land owners to increase their profitability.
The system of indentured servitude was gradually replaced by chattel slavery in the Americas, where enslaved people were treated as property and exploited for forced labor. This transition occurred as demand for labor increased, and the transatlantic slave trade became more established as a means of obtaining cheap, unfree labor.
