 In case you end up as a slave, you should know what they do, just in case. Slaves were people who were frequently captured to put into battle, but sometimes were abandoned children raised vinto slavery. The rich could buy and sell slaves at the slave market. The younger the slave, the more valuable. Once a slave was bought, they were a slave for life. They could only get freedom if the owner gave it to them, or they bought thier freedom with the same amount of money the owner paid for them.If a slave married and had kids, the kids would automatically be slaves. The kids would most likely be killed by the parents than become slaves. Don't jump to the conclusion that slaves lived a crummy life, a good master most likely took care of a good slave.
