The practice of slavery has been an unfortunate reality throughout human history. The word "slave" is often associated with forced labor, exploitation, and oppression. However, there are synonyms to this term in order to remove slavery's negative connotations. These synonyms include "bondservant," "indentured servant," and "enslaved person" - all of which refer to individuals who have been forced to work without payment. The use of these synonyms recognizes the inhumane treatment of those who were enslaved in the past and present, while also providing a more accurate and respectful description of their experiences. By using alternative terminology, we can acknowledge the atrocities of slavery while also avoiding harmful language.
