In East Asia, one way slaves were acquired was through which of the following?
Conquest of Africa
Class divisions
Capture in war
Debtors’ prisons
Answer: Capture in war.
Step-by-step explanation:
Most scholars consider slavery was most likely started as war prisoners that were forced to work for their captors, usually doing farm work, and East Asia was no exception.
By the 19th century, which is believed to be the highest point in the development of slavery, most slaves in Southeast Asia had been enslaved after they were captured in war.
