A slave
The prisoners were enslaved by the tyrant, forced to labor under harsh conditions.
The age of the youngest slave varied, but children as young as a few months old were sometimes enslaved. It was not uncommon for babies and young children to be taken from their families and forced into slavery.
Children can be enslaved at any age, but they are particularly vulnerable due to their dependence on adults for protection and care. Child slavery is a grave violation of children's rights and can have long-lasting negative impacts on their physical, emotional, and psychological well-being. Efforts must be made to protect children from exploitation and ensure their safety and well-being.
Under Virginia law, the child of a slave woman and a free man was considered a slave, following the principle of partus sequitur ventrem, which means that the status of the child follows that of the mother. Therefore, regardless of the father's status, the child would still be enslaved.
