Slavery
Slavery is a social and economic system in which people are treated as property and forced to work without pay or personal freedom. Enslaved individuals can be bought, sold, and inherited. Slavery has existed throughout history in many cultures and continues in some forms today, despite being illegal in most countries. The transatlantic slave trade, especially between the 16th and 19th centuries, was particularly brutal and influential. Efforts to abolish slavery have led to significant social, legal, and political movements worldwide. For more information, see the Wikipedia entry on Slavery.
