This is a rather non-describing question. Seeing that throughout the history of man there have been slave holders and slaves in different nations under different sets of rule and sometimes there where revolts and sometimes not.

The main reason however for slave revolts have been oppression of the holder. Slaves are humans seen as property gained often through acts of war. Slaves were not seen as human and often threated worse than animals held by the owner.*

* I'm using past tense because the slave system where there were enough slaves to revolt at any given area is largely taken over by other names for oppression.
