Civilizations such as the Greek, Egyptians, Romans, Vikings and Chinese dynasties amongst others had slaves who largely slotted into one of four categories: chattel, bonded, forced labour etc. As long as we have written records of humanity, we have evidence of slavery. From ancient civilizations to modern-day, humans have always subjugated and enslaved one another. Whether it's because of the colour of our skin, our wealth, where we were born or simply due to who’s in charge, there have been instances of slavery across every single country and culture.

In this video we shall look at how different era's and nations held and treated their slaves. We shall also look into the horrifying aspects of slavery including the transatlantic slave trade.
