Chapter Six Continuation: Slavery in the Classical Era: The Case of the Roman Empire

This section of the chapter it talked about slavery. Something that attracted my attention while reading this section was that in some societies, the children of slaves inherited the status of their parents, while in others, such as the Aztec Empire, they were considered free people. Another thing that got my attention while reading this section, the classical civilization of Eurasia differed considerably in the prominence and extent of slavery in their societies. Something else that this section talked about was that they compared Greco-Roman and American Slavery to each other. They told us the source of slaves, race, manumission, roles/work, and the fate of slavery. The section explain all of those things in such detail that it wasn't hard to understand.
