In antiquity slaves were war captives. Enslaving war captives was part of the war booty of victory. The Romans got plentiful slaves pool when they won a war and, especially, when they seized a foreign town. It was said that when Rome won the Third Macedonian War against the Kingdom of Macedon in Greece, 300,000 Greeks were taken to the slave market in Rome. When Rome destroyed Carthage, she sold 50,000 Carthaginians as slaves. After the destruction of Jerusalem, 97,000 Jews were enslaved. When Rome's wars of expansion ended, the supply of slaves dwindled.
buying them for African slave traders
Because we are all different and some people like them and some people don't. but we all have our own opinions.
Europe and the Americas over a period of about 400 years, Ancient African slaves_____To be honest this question is not as easy to answer as the first person would imply...To answer this question it is important to first consider the first slaves.. Most slaves in the ancient world were captured during war... this would include their families -- if the Greeks, Romans, or Mesopotamian etc etc -- could find them. This type of slavery was also life long.. and for the Egyptians it could be even longer..^^Slaves could even be your own country men such as the case with the Spartans and the Helots (these slaves were treated very cruelly)..The Helots were owned collectively by the whole Spartan city-state and were used to grow food and do basically everything else.... so that Spartan men could train for war..... (SPARTAN.......!) as King Leonidas would have said it)Another form of slavery was indentured servants which could overtime receive their freedom... this form of slavery lasted anywhere from 2 to 5 years depending on the circumstances... The first slaves in America were mainly Scots, Irish and Germans.. they used this type of slavery as a means to pay for their way to the New World... this in fact was much cheaper then African slaves.. for a very long time in America..So how did the Europeans change the nature of slavery.... that answer could take all day to answer... even if we don't consider the American slaves..**However, most likely your teacher is looking for this answer... Slavery was hereditary meaning if you were a slave then your child would also be considered slaves.. if you had any... **Yet we find this type of slavery was nothing new either... consider the Hebrews and the Egyptians (Moses and the Bible)... Romans and Greeks that practiced this type of slavery 3500 years ago..alsoMore over this question could even be more complex if we consider the Indian Coolies (not the American Indians but the India Indians).. that the British basically enslaved after they outlawed the slave trade..
The Romans were extremely good at building things, roads, buildings, bridges, walls; anything they needed. They were excellent engineers and craftsmen. They were very well trained, and worked hard to find the best way to execute an engineering project. They had the time and the money to spend on projects, like roads, that were important to the empire.Well, roads helped the Romans be able to travel easier from province to province.They tended to build the roads so they could carry heavy things and walk on the roads
European slave traders mainly went to the coastal West African modern day nations such as Liberia, Nigeria, and Sierra Leone.
very simple. :) They got their slaves from places they conqured. Just like many other ancient societys
The Romans made their weapons.
No. Slave trade has been going on for thousands of years. The Greeks and Romans bought and sold slaves and for every war they took slaves. The Spanish in the Southwest used Native Americans as slaves. Columbus on his 2 nd voyage took 1200 Native Americans as slaves, but at one point in the American colonies slaves could escape to Florida and the Spanish to find freedom. They could own businesses, go to school, buy property.
Judas Iscariot was an Apostle, and the Romans knew where to find Jesus because of Judas.
Canida an the north
Slaves travelled by night and followed the North Star.
The slave traders that came to Africa had a ready made supply of slaves from the villages along the coast. These villages thrived on the sale of slaves they captured for the passing traders.Without this ready made supply, the industry would have been unable to survive. Had the traders been required to find their own slaves, they would have moved on to different fields.Trading of humans for the purpose of slavery was a common practice up until the 1800's. Many different cultures and groups have been slaves. White individuals from Ireland have been slaves in Africa is just one example.Jewish people in Egypt is another. The difference here is that Blacks were the last group to legally become slaves. They are also the last group in the United States to be slaves under law. Today, we still have forms of slavery, but they do not involve the trading of individuals from Africa. Asia is the current group of choice.
