Yes we’ll it wasn’t chattel slavery either. One could fall into debt, go into slavery to repay that debt and then buy your way back out again. It was very different in many, many ways than the halfassed American version of slavery, bc civilized Ancient Greece > medieval British United States.
Even in North America, history has been distorted to make it all about the African slaves, when there were far more indigenous slaves than African slaves. …because they were already here, the tribes were in tatters, and they were scattered and easily rounded up. But since most Americans live in cities post-war, when urban people look around they see black people, so that’s who they think of associated with slavery. …whereas there are no representatives from some United federation of tribes to have a voice in Murrica’s halfassed coming to terms with its history. The 15 million or so native ppl are out of sight, out of mind. Embarrassingly, most white Americans have no idea any native people survived at all and think everyone must be 1/128th Cherokee or something. Oh well.
