Question

how was slavery similar in mesoamerica, africa, and the arab world?
owners often forced enslaved people to pledge loyalty to them.
many enslaved people worked in exchange for protection from foreigners.
people were often enslaved after being captured during war.
many enslaved people taught and tutored children.

Explanation:

In Mesoamerica, Africa, and the Arab world, warfare was a common source of enslavement. Captives from wars were often enslaved. Forced loyalty pledging was not a universal commonality. Enslaved people working for protection from foreigners was not a typical shared trait. While some enslaved might have had various roles, teaching/tutoring children was not a defining similar aspect across these regions like war - based enslavement.

Answer:

People were often enslaved after being captured during war.
