Slavery.
A slave is someone who has been denied of all human rights, and is property of their master. Meaning they can get hit and and abused in every way possible.But when we look at slavery we look at it as an old thing that happened years and years ago, but many will be surprised to hear that slavery still exist today. in fact this year in 2018 slaves are getting sold for less than 500 dollars!. yes for less than a price of an iPhone you can buy a person.

How slaves were treated.
sometimes we look at slaves as personal servants but it is very important that we address that the slaves were treated horribly.from how they were talked to the places, they slept they were abused and killed even when they did what they were told.

Slaves in ancient Rome.
In ancient Rome they had educated slaves though they were still forced to do things with no pay. Rome was a very strong country and there slaves were treated with respect and their children could get an education when

Freeing slaves.as we mentioned earlier slavery still exist today.Some people buy slaves just so they can free them. As good of an idea this may seem it is very risky, because in order to buy a slave you need to get in contact with very sketchy people. and if you get caught doing a black market trade you will have to face severe consequences.
