Different form of slavery - the form of slavery practiced in the US, Cuba and Brazil was chattel slavery - slaves only worth the value paid, invented by Arab Muslims in the A.D. 600s.

Old Kingdom Egypt practiced voluntary slavery - more like the later indentured servant practice. People volunteered because they wanted food, medicine and housing - all of which they received. When their tern was up, they either signed on again or did something else as free men

The Greeks and Romans had slavery, which wasn't voluntary. Usually it was because of being on the losing side in a war, or being born to a slave woman, but in some cases the victims of kidnapping by pirates.

Spartacus was not a voluntary slave.
