The bible approved of chattel slavery as long as it wasn't a fellow jew. Fellow jews could only be indentured slaves for a max of 7 years.
The 1st person in the US to own chattel slaves was a black man, Anthony Johnson. He himself was originally an indentured servant who did well for himself after his indentured servitude ended.
Slavery in Africa and the middle east have been going on for a few thousand years and hasn't stopped.
