I think you misunderstand the whole 'slaves' vs 'enslaved persons' issue. The term 'slave' is seen by some as dehumanizing, as that implies the totality of their existence. 'Enslaved persons' humanized the victims as real 'persons'. 'Enslaved' is generally not used as a verb.I have noticed an irritating and spreading convention which I fear may be enforced by government decree. This is to refer to a man's slaves as the people he enslaved. For example, one will not write, "Thomas Jefferson owned one hundred slaves." One will write "Thomas Jefferson enslaved one hundred African Americans."
