Identify the factors (new resources, increased productivity, education, technology, slave economy, territorial expansion) that increase economic growth. Describe how the Aztec nation created wealth from the nations surrounding them. (Be sure to cite specific examples from your lesson in your answer.)

Slavery in the Aztec Empire was very different from what Europeans of the same period established in their colonies. Aztec slavery was personal, not hereditary. A slave's children were free. The slave could have possessions and even own other slaves. Slaves could buy their liberty, and could be set free if they were able to show they had been mistreated or if they had children with or were married to their masters.

Typically, upon the death of their owner, slaves who had performed outstanding services were freed, while the rest were passed on as part of the inheritance.

Explanation:

The Aztecs took over other tribes which lead to slavery. The Aztecs sacrificed slaves for the gods they worshipped. They thought the gods needed human sacrifices to stay healthy and happy. During these ceremonies, the slaves would have their hearts taken out while they were still alive.
