The system of chattel slavery that existed in America & other European colonies is unlike slavery that existed in ancient world. Folks have tweeted at me in recent days about slavery being a widespread practice. That's a common way to downplay unique brutality of chattel slavery.

I’m not trying to be an apologist for Southern chattel slavery. Even if it were common, it would be indefensibly abhorrent. But helots in Sparta seem to have been slaves in all but name, abused or killed with impugnity, and this status was entirely heritable. (I may be wrong.)

Enslaved people in the Roman Republic/Empire inherited from their mother their status It, too, was a slavocracy, fundamentally built on slavery, but not a racial one As you say, manumission was also something of an expectation b/c unlike Greeks, Romans didn’t ethnicize slavery.
