What date did it slavery start?
There is no exact date or place that slavery can be given. Thousands of years of slavery have existed. The bible talks about slaves and slaves were bought and sold by civilizations from the earliest times.
Why and how did slavery start?
Until it was globally outlawed, slavery has been an institution practiced since ancient times. Nearly all ancient civilizations had slaves.
What civilizations used slaves?
ALMOST ALL OF THEM. It was a widely accepted practice in the Ancient world, slavery in some places are more understood than others because of the fact that the task of slaves were not properly recorded but we have reference of slavery in all of the following civilizations: Ancient Egypt, Ancient Greece, Ancient Rome, Ancient China, Ancient India, Ancient Persia, Among the Aztecs and Among the Mayans among others. Slavery was also used in the new world, however in the new world racial boundaries were used only capturing people of African (black) stock. The West coast of Africa used slaves as did The Portuguese, The British, The Americans and The Spanish.
Did the Dutch began the African slave trade in Europe?
they bagan it in Europe but they didn't invent slavery, this concept existed in far more ancient civilizations
How do you think abolisshing slavery would have affected Roman society?
Abolishing slavery would have affected the households of the rich and mining. Rich households had many slaves who did domestic and other jobs for them. Miners were slaves because this job was considered a death sentence. It would not have had a significant effect on agricultural production (the mainstay of the economy). Slaves in antiquity were enslaved war captives. When Rome fought wars of expansion she captured and enslaved many captives. Most of them were bought by the owners of large landed estates to work in their field. However: a) they also employed local seasonal agricultural labourers, b) most of the slaves went to Italy and many areas of the Roman Empire did not have slaves, including Egypt, which was the breadbasket of the empire. When Rome's imperial expansion stopped, the supply of slaves dwindled as there were no longer war captives. The large landlords came to rely more on local peasants who were hired as labourers or were tenants who paid a rent for their plots of land.
