Slavery originated when people were captured in warfare. Secondarily, slavery became a legal form of debt payment prior to [[bankruptcy]] courts for people incapable of managing their financial affairs. Not all Master-slave relationships were abusive - some slaves willingly served a fair master for life who provides sustenance and protection. Slaves were often bought and sold (see [[slave trade]]). The [[Year of Jubilee]] was instituted by God for His own nation in order to prevent slavery from becoming a means by which cleverly unscrupulous, or cleverly ignorant, people made a living, such as happened in the American South.

There are several different types of slavery which have been known to history. Debt slavery, war trophies, and racial or cultural prejudice have all been used to justify slave systems.

Historically people captured in warfare were, and I some societies still are, considered slaves.

In America the vast majority of slaves were African blacks, and many of these had been bought from African tribal leaders; Indians starved themselves to death rather than live as slaves. From 1500 to 1820, hundreds of thousands of Europeans were captured in war by Muslims and made slaves.
