'''Slavery''' is a system of involuntary servitude such as exists in [[socialist]] [[gulag]]s, re-education camps, [[grooming gang]]s and other forms of involuntary labor and [[prostitution]]. In contemporary [[Marxist]] societies that practice slavery, the subjects have limited or no [[Rights]].
slavery Slavery originated when people were captured in warfare. Secondarily, slavery resulted when some able-bodied people became so poor through debts that some wealthy a legal form of debt payment prior to [[bankruptcy]] courts for people claimed them as property at least until they worked off incapable of managing their debtsfinancial 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.
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.
