The Historical Significance of Slavery Society
1. Slave ownership society is a great progress, which breaks the narrowness of clan and tribe relations in primitive society, thus contributing to the expansion of social production scale and the development of division of labor between manual labor and mental labor.
2. Slavery society has created conditions for the further development of material civilization and spiritual culture of all mankind. In this historical change, slave owners undoubtedly benefited the most. They could get rid of heavy manual labor, engage in mental labor or not.
At the same time, it should be noted that slaves also benefited from it. Some prisoners of war slaves avoided the fate of being defeated and killed, and their living standards were better than those of the primitive society as a whole.
