Probably.
But I believe Biblical slavery more closely resembled indentured servitude, which was found in early Colonial America as well. Only difference was a slave had to leave his family after his time was finished if he wanted to remain free in Biblical times....if he wanted to stay with the family he created under his servitude, he would have to pledge to be with his owner indefinitely. Guess the society was not as big on family as the Christians like to believe....then again, divorce and multiple spouses (and concubines) was acceptable under Jewish law (that whole you shall not divorce thing and single spouse belief did not come around until Jesus' time).
But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, His Son, purifies us from all sin.
