To determine which statements about slaves in the Aztec empire are true and false, let's analyze each statement:
1. A slave would remain a slave for life.
- This statement is true. In the Aztec empire, slaves were generally considered property and did not have the opportunity to gain freedom except in very rare circumstances.
2. Slave children were born free.
- This statement is false. In the Aztec empire, the children of slaves were also considered slaves. Slavery was a hereditary condition, and children of slaves would be born into slavery.
3. A commoner could sell themselves into slavery.
- This statement is true. In some cases, a commoner in the Aztec empire could voluntarily sell themselves into slavery. This might have been done to pay off debts or to improve their economic situation.
4. Slaves had the same rights as commoners.
- This statement is false. Slaves in the Aztec empire did not possess the same rights as commoners. They were considered property and did not have the same freedoms or privileges.
So, the true statements are:
- A slave would remain a slave for life.
- A commoner could sell themselves into slavery.
And the false statements are:
- Slave children were born free.
- Slaves had the same rights as commoners.
