Slavery dates so far back in history that we can't know who the first person was. Ancient societies bought and sold people across cultures. When wars happened slaves were taken and the Roman gladiator system was built on men captured in battle and enslaved. Slavery still exists today and people are still bought and sold. The sex trade often uses slavery.
