When slaves had children, there child became slaves as well. In most institutions of slavery throughout the world the children that were slaves became property of there master. Back in the day, people had been sold into slavery. They did that so that the money could be used to pay off their debts that they were in and sometimes the poor sold off their own children to prevent starvation. People have offered themselves into slavery, not even for a price but merely so that their new master would feed and take care of them being that they didnt have nowhere to go. In many cultures, slaves could earn their freedom through hard work and buying their own freedom. This was not possible in all cultures. In 2003 child slavery was on the rise, there are millions of people throughout the world "mainly children" in conditions of virtual slavery, particularly child slavery. Being a child back then was a hard task because as a young one they hard to work just as hard as there parents did.
Picture: A young little boy doing what his master told him to do, carrying something on his head while being chained up at a young age.
