Some Egyptians were sold into slavery because of debts or sold themselves to escape poverty. As indentured slaves they did not lose all their civil rights. Often the economic security they gained through their new status might seem to be worth giving up some freedoms for.
Some slaves were prisoners of war. These were often put to work in the mines, quarries, on the estates of the nobles or temples, digging canals and on building the monuments. These sort of slaves did not appear in any numbers until the new kingdom from about 1500BC
life for these slaves was very hard
The Bible tells us that the Israelites served in Egypt for four hundred years, a period that would have spanned the reigns of many kings. However there is nothing in the extensive Egyptian records of the time to suggest that the Israelites were even in Egypt. The first and only Egyptian mention of the Israelites is in a single Egyptian document from the period of Merneptah, king of Egypt, dating from 1208 BCE: "Plundered is Canaan with every evil, Ascalon is taken, Gezer is seized, Yenoam has become as though it never was, Israel is desolated, its seed is not." There is no suggestion that the defeat of the Israelites achieved revenge for their flight from Egypt, but instead the document suggests that they were a weak and backward rural community in the Palestinain hinterland or possibly in modern Jordan.
The Torah doesn't give his name. Hollywood likes calling him Raamses, probably because the city of Ra'ames is mentioned in the Exodus story.
The following Egyptian rulers have been thought to be possibilities for the Pharaoh from the Exodus story:
Dudimose (died c.1690 BCE)
Ahmose I (1550-1525 BCE)
Thutmose III (1479-1425 BCE)
Thutmose IV
Horemheb (1319-1292 BCE)
Merneptah (c.1213-1203 BCE)
Raamses I (c.1292-1290 BCE)
Raamses II (c.1279-1213 BCE) Also known as Ramesses the Great, he is the most commonly imagined figure in popular culture, but there is no documentary or archaeological evidence that he had to deal with the Plagues of Egypt or anything similar or that he chased Hebrew slaves fleeing Egypt. Ramesses II's late 13th century BCE stela in Beth Shan mentions two conquered peoples who came to "make obeisance to him" in his city of Raameses or Pi-Ramesses but mentions neither the building of the city nor, as some have written, the Israelites or Hapiru.
The name of the Pharaoh is not mentioned in the bible, he is only called Pharaoh.

How did Moses and Abraham shape the history of the Hebrew people?
Answer 1Abraham shaped the Hebrew history by being told by God himself, or believed that He did tell him, to leave his own home, and settle into Canaan where his descendants-the Hebrews-- finally settled also, but later, some of the Hebrews moved to Egypt, (they moved to other parts of the world later). However, with the growth of the Hebrews, the pharaoh of Egypt, was worried the Hebrews soon might take over, and to stop that from happening, he made the Hebrews slaves. A man named Moses appeared among the Hebrews in Egypt. God told Moses to lead the Hebrews out of Egypt. Moses then went to the pharaoh and demanded that the Hebrews should be free. The pharaoh refused. Soon afterward a series of plagues (disasters) struck Egypt and the pharaoh then agreed to let the Hebrews free.Christian answer:They both spread the word about God and Jesus.Jewish answer:Abraham founded Judaism.Moses brought the Israelites out of Egypt and received the Torah from God.
