In order for students to develop a knowledge of the history of slavery in America, a solid foundational understanding of slavery can be helpful. The term “slave” held different meanings in different cultures. In ancient Egypt and Rome, slaves could be viewed as a social class, which people sometimes escaped though hard work, or joined though their own poor choices. Contrary to common belief, some slaves enjoyed relatively comfortable lives and took on roles such as family tutor in addition to the stereotypical slave laborer. Slavery in the more modern context of the early United States became an issue linked with racial conflict and bigotry, in a role more closely resembling a series of prison labor camps.

Slavery in Ancient Egypt

The first and probably most important point to convey during a lesson on ancient Egyptian slavery is that the slave was more of a social class than an occupation of forced labor. A particularly interesting way to illustrate that fact for students is to explore the role of free born Egyptian temple volunteers, who would in essence pay for the right to be a slave in service to a particular Egyptian god or temple of their choosing. Due in part to popular media portrayals of Egyptian slavery, such as the film based on the Bible called “The Ten Commandments,” some students may have an erroneous idea that the great pyramids were built entirely by slave labor. The reality of the matter is that due to the inundation cycle of the Nile riverbank, the growing season for farmers was a short one. The idle population jumped at the chance for some sort of gainful work in the off season, and so the pyramid construction projects were staffed by and large by free men, who likely took pay for their time or were given credit against taxes. There were a number of ways to become an Egyptian slave: volunteer, be taken as a prisoner of war, be forced to work to earn your keep, and even to be born into the slave class.
