Was a slave always a slave?

There are many opinions in this, but personally no. The first people who were enslaved weren't always a slave. Many people died a slave, and they were always a slave though, because a slave is someone who is legally owned by another. People who were taken from their home to slavery and who where legally freed weren't always slaves though.
