the great wall of China was built using slave labor
False
When Emperor Qin Shi Huang ordered construction of the Great Wall around 221 B.C., the labor force that built the wall was made up largely of soldiers and convicts. It is said that as many as 400,000 people died during the wall's construction; many of these workers were buried within the wall itself.
3. Who built the Great Wall of China? Millions of the people constructed the Great Wall. The labor force to build the Great Wall includes workers, soldiers, forcibly recruited peasants, slaves, convicts and war prisoners.
Construction of the Great Wall started about 2,500 years ago. It was intended to keep out the marauding northern nomads who lived in the regions that are now Mongolia and Manchuria. The wall was built across China in sections using slave labor and was finally linked in 214 B.C.

Slave labor wasn't a larg contribution to the wall being built. It was built mostly by soldiers and convicts ---
