Minimized it. Think the movie Spartacus. The movie The Vikings in the late 50's touched let alone the more recent TV series by that name. There are many others, but no discussion was involved. Even movies in the US tend to miss much. One of the largest slave owners in Mississippi before the Civil War was. BLACK and he hired White overseers, traveled extensively to buy slaves and guess what no one bothered him. There were Black professionals and slave owners in pre Civil War South Carolina. Union troops entering Louisana were shocked on finding large numbers of Black plantation owners owning numbers of Black slaves. While the Army of the Confederacy didn't allow Blacks, the various state militias did, so you will find battles where the Union troops faced Confederate Black soldiers. So, many misconceptions taught as facts. I once asked a teacher why he didn't teach his students about the complexities, and he s aid that they would confuse the students, and details would be taught in college. All questions about college level courses aside, the vast majority of students in that high school weren't even going to see a junior college or technical school.

Add the thought, in Roman a slave could only give evidence under torture. That means if a rich man was under investigation, all of his household slaves could be tortured. If one slave killed a master in theory at least all would be executed. Another thought, why was Rome so populated, small farmers were forced out by large farms worked by slaves. Oh yes, the gladiators who died in numbers were almost entirely slaves. In other word too many people don't know history.
