Best Answer

House slaves was normally treated as servants and in some families as family members.There was cases where slaves were mistreated but that was realy the exceptions,slaves were generally treated humanly with rest,food and shelter.However being a slave meant that no compansation was given for services rendered and you could never leave or seek alternative employment.
