something on origins
'''Slavery''' was a peculiar institution found in all [[civilization]]s which diminished a person's value to the point where they would be regarded as a "thing" to be owned.
'''Slavery''' was a peculiar institution found in all [[civilization]]s which diminished a person's value to the point where they would be regarded as a "thing" to be owned. Slavery came into existence as a social institution largely to deal with common social problems such as thievery and drunkeness in eras prior to incarceration of prisoners supported by taxpayers.
The slavery system reduces a person to the status of an animal who can be owned by another person. The value of a slave was typically about the same as that of a [[race horse]]. The master controls and commands the slave, either through ownership of the slave like property, or by right to command him.
