 | | Slavery was abolished in the United States in 1865. | | | Slavery in the ancient Mediterranean cultures, including Greece and Rome (and parts of the Roman Empire), and the Islamic Caliphate was a mixture of debt-slavery, marriage, slavery as a punishment for crime, the enslavement of prisoners of war, and the birth of slave children to slaves. | | | Slavery in Mauritania was legally abolished by laws passed in 1905, 1961, and 1981, but several human rights organizations are reporting that the practice continues there. |

| | While as for predial slavery -- the attachment of serfs to the soil -- the form of chattel slavery which existed longest in Europe, it is only of use to the proprietor where there is little competition for land. | | | The coarser form of slavery, in which each particular slave is the property of a particular owner, is fitted only for a rude state of society, and with social development entails more and more care, trouble and expense upon the owner. | | | If we must have slavery, it were better in the form in which the slave knows his owner, and the heart and conscience and pride of that owner can be appealed to. |

| | Besides chattel slavery, where one person is owned by another, there was land slavery, sometimes called real slavery, where the person belonged to the land. | | | The economic structure created by this flight of taxpayers into slavery or serfdom to powerful lords became the social and economic structure of Western civilization for more than a thousand years, and it was the direct consequence of Roman tax slavery. | | | History records a form of slavery that had a far greater impact on civilization than chattel slavery. |

| | The 13th Amendment to the Constitution of the United States, abolishing slavery throughout the United States, was ratified in 1865. | | | In 1951 a United Nations committee on slavery reported that the practice of slavery was declining rapidly, with only a vestige of slavery remaining in a few areas of the world. | | | The number of slaves imported was small at first, and it did not seem necessary to define their legal status. |

| | But chattel slavery as practiced in the United States and elsewhere differed in kind, not merely degree, from just tide slavery. | | | This form of slavery can be called "chattel slavery." (There are other ways in which the term can be used, such as in reference to the slavery discussed in the Old Testament, where slaves were regarded as property but nonetheless as bearers of human rights.) | | | These forms of servitude or slavery differ in kind from what we are calling chattel slavery. |

| | The chattel slave is not a legal person and so has no rights. | | | slavery may be banished and blotted out without any injury to divine or human rights, with no political agitation, and so with the solid benefit of the slaves themselves, for whose sake it is undertaken. | | | In the Middle Ages chattel slavery was replaced by serfdom. |

| | Gilder Lehrman Center "The Problem of Slavery," David Brion Davis |
| | As the laws governing chattel property evolved in the earliest civilizations, it was almost universally agreed that a slave, like an animal, could be bought, sold, traded, leased, mortgaged, bequeathed, presented as a gift, pledged for a debt, included in a dowry, or seized in a bankruptcy. | | | Yet this principle of slave holder autonomy could also mean that slaveholders might strongly encourage slave marriages and slave families, as in the nineteenth-century U.S. South, even though such marriages had no legal standing. | | | The same point applies to much convict labor, which as "involuntary servitude" is specifically legitimated by the Thirteenth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution as an exception to its national abolition of slavery. |

| | It was also urged that such a reduction in price would enable the chattel slave owners to compete with the wage system in the settlement of new territory to the west. | | | Because the slave represents a permanent investment on the part of the master, and must be supported continuously, without regard to the continuity of industry, it is essential that employment be steady. | | | There is no legislation except for the benefit of slavery and slaveholders. |

| | Rather, this was an abject slave, subject to the court's definition of him as mercantable and movable "property," as chattel or res, and to his master's virtual whim. | | | All slave codes made slavery a permanent condition, inherited through the mother, and defined slaves as property, usually in the same terms as those applied to real estate. | | | This premise, combined with the natural population growth among the slaves, meant that slavery could survive and grow even after slave imports were outlawed in 1808. |

| | The master orders his slave to work in a certain field, when he perhaps would prefer to go elsewhere--this is slavery. | | | When sick himself, or overtaken by the infirmity of age, he is kindly cared for, and when he dies the whites grieve, not for the loss of so much property, but for the death of a member of the family.--This is the relation which slaves generally, and domestic servants universally, sustain to their white masters. | | | He does not regard his bonds-men as mere chattel property, but as human beings to whom he owes duties. |
