| - | The '''history of slavery''' covers many different forms of human exploitation across many cultures and throughout human history. [[Slavery]], generally defined, refers to the systematic exploitation of labor for work and services without consent and/or the possession of other persons as [[property]]. There is no clear timeline for the formation of slavery in any formalized sense. Slavery can be traced to the earliest records, such as the [[Code of Hammurabi]], which refers to slavery as an already established institution. | ||
