Reposted from AskHistorians, if that’s okay.

Did Aztec society have a large scale slave trade, like the later slave societies that arose in the Americas? Do we have any estimate of how many people were enslaved in any given year/decade/century or what percentage of the Aztec population enslaved people made up?
