How was slavery in the Americas different from slavery in Africa and Muslims lands?

Slavery in the Americas was primarily characterized by its racial nature and the hereditary status of enslaved individuals, often involving brutal treatment and dehumanization, particularly in plantation economies. In contrast, slavery in Africa and Muslim lands varied significantly; it often allowed for some legal rights, opportunities for social mobility, and integration into society. Enslaved people in these regions could sometimes rise to positions of power or influence, unlike the chattel slavery system in the Americas, where enslaved individuals and their descendants were considered property for life. Additionally, while slavery in Africa and Muslim lands was often not racially based, in the Americas, it became closely tied to race, leading to systemic oppression based on skin color.
