Owning slaves has gone on since Biblical times. To the victor, the spoils, including human prisoners. Kill them all or enslave them as chattel - that was the choice. Human trafficking was big biz with the muslims in later times along with warring African tribes (sometimes one and the same). It goes on to this day in many of the more “vibrant” areas of our earth. As more and more of these people immigrate to America, we are seeing the human trafficking and slavery in our big cities.
And no, I don’t consider it Tyranny for owning slaves way back when in America - I just consider it wrong.
So has tyranny.

Why not? If we accept the definition as "cruel, unreasonable, or arbitrary use of power or control" the what is slavery if not that? Slaves had no power, had no say, had no rights, had no privileges, had nothing other than continued slavery for themselves and their children. Their entire future was at the whim of their master, whose arbitrary decision could make their life bearable or a living hell. Sounds like tyranny to me.
