Detailed explanation-1: -Chattel slavery is the most common form of slavery known to Americans. This system, which allowed people-considered legal property-to be bought, sold and owned forever, was lawful and supported by the United States and European powers from the 16th – 18th centuries.
Detailed explanation-2: -The chattel slave is an individual deprived of liberty and forced to submit to an owner, who may buy, sell, or lease them like any other chattel. The academic study of slavery in ancient Greece is beset by significant methodological problems.
Detailed explanation-3: -Serfdom was, after slavery, the most common kind of forced labor; it appeared several centuries after slavery was introduced. Whereas enslaved people have been considered forms of property owned by other people, serfs were bound to the land they occupy from one generation to another.
Detailed explanation-4: -Chattel slavery means that one person has total ownership of another. There are two basic forms of chattel, domestic chattel, with menial household duties and productive chattel, working in the fields or mines.
