Original Note:
Historically slaves were captured from overseas, or legally defined as slaves at birth - they did not have a choice. Violence, coercion, physical restraint, and restriction of education and information were all tactics used to prevent people escaping their enslavement. https://www.britannica.com/topic/slave-code https://www.theguardian.com/news/2019/aug/15/400-years-since-slavery-timeline https://blogs.loc.gov/teachers/2022/08/education-in-enslaved-communities/
