Funny you mention slavery.  Indentured servitude stories are all over the
Bible and other texts, and technically slave ownership in the US was intended
to be indentured until a slave owner won a court decision to keep his slaves
indefinitely.

I've always wondered how the contracts or obligations were written?  If slave
 provided a child fathered by the slave owner, was this consentual or
obligatory?  Were there special or customary rights to be provided for the
children?  In the sotry ofAbraham and Sarah, Sarah provided the Egyptian
slave named Hagar to provide a son for Abraham.  This resulted in the birth
of Ishmael.  After Sarah gave birth to Isaac, Sarah demanded Abraham to kick
Hagar and Ishmael out of the house and cast them out tothe desert.  He fed
them bread and water, then sent them along their way.  That's wild.
