| | Downbound: Slavery |
 | | The word slavery is used to describe a number of related conditions involving control of a person against their will, enforced by violence or other, clear forms of coercion. |
 | | Similarly, in the broader sense of the word, slavery has sometimes been regarded as an expectation associated with other relationships, such as marriage and/or other family relations, military service, or debt relationships. |
 | | In these cases, unfree labourers are often told that they are working off a debt, but to have no access to an accounting for that debt, and no right to take any lower-paying or less supervised employment. |
