Peasants chose their own trade and basically "owned themselves" while one type of slave was basically a peasant who sold themselves and no longer chooses their own trade and who's work is considered payment. They still had their own property rights. The distinction between types of slaves was important, because prisoners of war were of lower class than peasants who had bargained with servitude. The Pyramids were not built by prisoners of war, they were built by farming class peasants during times they couldn't tend to their field due to flooding.</p></blockquote><p></p>
