Was slavery a choice?
<|assistant|>
No, slavery was not a choice. Slavery is defined as "A condition in which one person has absolute power or control over another person and is legally or traditionally permitted to deprive the other of their freedom". In all cases of slavery throughout human history, it has been imposed by force or coercion and has not been a voluntary choice.
