Slave owners are commonly referred to as "slaveholders" or "slave masters." In historical contexts, particularly in the United States, they were often part of the plantation economy and relied on the labor of enslaved individuals to generate wealth. The term reflects the ownership and control they exerted over the enslaved population.

What countries beside America were slaves?

At some time in history every culture, nation, and country has had slaves. It is only within the past couple of hundred years that countries began to make slavery a crime. There are still a few places in the world where slave markets exist and the ownership of slaves is considered both normal and necessary. For example, the entire Bible assumes that owning slaves was ubiquitous. Several of Saint Paul's letters assume this and contain advice to Christian slave owners how to treat their slaves and/or to Christian slaves to respect their owners even if those owners were not Christians.
