Enslaved people were individuals who were forced to work for others without any personal freedom or rights. They were often captured or bought and lived under harsh conditions, with their labor exploited for the benefit of their owners. This practice was prevalent in various societies throughout history, including during the Transatlantic Slave Trade. Enslaved people were denied basic human rights and were treated as property rather than individuals. Many were subjected to physical and emotional abuse, and families were often separated. The legacy of slavery has had lasting effects on societies, contributing to ongoing issues of inequality and discrimination.
