The United States, sadly
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.
Britain dominated the Atlantic slave trade.
The first country to bring enslaved Africans to the Americas was Spain, which began importing enslaved Africans to its colonies in the early 16th century, around the 1500s. This practice was established to meet labor demands in the colonies, particularly in sugar production. The transatlantic slave trade expanded significantly over the following centuries, with other European nations, including Portugal, England, and France, also participating in the trade.
Most enslaved Africans came from the West and Central regions of the continent, particularly the area known as the Slave Coast, which includes present-day countries like Nigeria, Ghana, Angola, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. This region was heavily targeted during the transatlantic slave trade due to its established systems of trade and the prevalence of existing conflicts that made it easier to capture people. The majority of those enslaved were taken to the Americas, where they were forced into labor on plantations and in various industries.
Portugal practiced the slave trade for the longest time, beginning in the 15th century and continuing into the 19th century. The Portuguese were among the first Europeans to engage in the transatlantic slave trade, establishing routes that transported enslaved Africans to their colonies in the Americas and elsewhere. This involvement spanned several centuries, significantly influencing the demographics and economies of both Africa and the New World.
Spain was the first country to import enslaved Africans to the Americas :)
The feminine form of "slave" is "enslaved woman" or "female slave".
It depends. If the slave was enslaved in the early 1800s, then no. But if he were enslaved later in time he could. However most slaves did not have that required amount of money.
Slave traders primarily came from several European countries, with Portugal, Spain, France, the Netherlands, and Britain being the most significant. These nations were heavily involved in the transatlantic slave trade from the 15th to the 19th centuries, transporting millions of enslaved Africans to the Americas. Each of these countries established colonies and trading posts that facilitated the capture and sale of enslaved people.

It is estimated that around 4 to 4.8 million enslaved Africans were sent to Brazil during the transatlantic slave trade. Brazil received the largest number of enslaved Africans of any country in the Americas.
People work as slave by do work as a white person.
The Slave Trade Law, passed in 1794, made it illegal to engage in the international slave trade. This limited the supply of new enslaved people to the United States, causing the domestic slave population to grow through natural increase and internal slave trading. While it did not end slavery, it altered the dynamics of the slave economy and led to increased breeding and trading of enslaved people within the country.
To have made someone into a slave.
Who is nobody but an enslaved African is a slave who usually works for no pay. The slaves sometimes worked for hour on end without breaks, some were even abused and they would always get beaten.
the slave code was a law saying if a slave owner was to killed one of his slaves he would not be punished.
