slavery was there even at time of pharohs... its an old concept, in islam slaves were taken after wars, as per my knowledge instead of encaging people and at that time there wernt many detention centers (resource constrain etc) they were given to people, and freeing slaves were a way of seeking chastity, and purifying from sins, slave should be treated nicely and the holy prophet had a slave boy when his origional parents came to take him he refused to go, the Prophet made him his 'called son' * +
