“Chattel soavery”...
A practise of long term. As opposed to “race slavery” which has no basis in history yet dominates US discussion of slavery.
The Ottoman Empire imported slaves from the “harvest of the steppes” to deepest Africa. And their economy was dependen on that.
No. Chattel slavery is just that - humans as chattel, disposable, interchangeable, unfit for any other use.
Before the Musslemen brought their invention of chattel slavery, slavery was a cultural position. One became a slave due to personal economics on a voluntary basis; one was captured in battle or on the losing side in a conflict; or other reasons. In all cases, slaves were well treated, fed, clothed, housed, loved and respected even as members of the owning family sometimes attaining fame in one category or another, or acquiring political power. They were not bought and sold.
“Race slavery” is a magical term conjured up by willfully ignorant racists on the left.
The Ottoman Empire was a muslim empire - Classical Western Civilization was totally different then what came after the muslim conquests as was Christianity. Western Civilization, prior to 620 AD, was a different place and nearly unrecognizable in 1500 AD
Classical Western Civilization and Classical Christianity is for the most part not taught in schools today so it is easy to forget either existed.
The period from the Egyptians, the Greeks, the Romans may cover a days’ worth of class time. Then the Renaissance is mentioned for another day or so, before moving on the the evils of colonialism, the French revolution. The American revolution is placed after the French one for reasons known only to “modern enlightened educators”. But it is highly denigrated because there were slaves and deserves to be destroyed.
Now you know as much as most millennials know about history, if they remember any of it.
IDK.

It’s the oldest worker market ever.
Slaves out-numbered feremen for ages.
