Slaves were considered animals, so they were not treated human. Slaves who worked and lived on plantations were the most frequently punished. Punishment could be administered by the plantation owner or master, his wife, children (white males), and most often by the overseer or driver. Slaves were punished with a variety of objects and instruments(whips, etc).
The treatment of slaves depended completely on their "owners".
Slaves were cheap to replace.
horribly.....
we are all humans so we should not keep any difference in slaves and owners so we should treat them as our friends.
Some slave owners treated their slaves badly because they saw them as primitive people, not high enough to exist in their league. Because slave owners bought their slaves they regarded them as property and not people. In the past slaves had no rights.
Slave owners treated their slaves as property rather than as human beings, subjecting them to harsh living conditions, physical abuse, and forced labor. They had complete control over all aspects of their slaves' lives and often used violence and fear to maintain power and control. Slave owners sought to dehumanize their slaves in order to justify their exploitation and mistreatment.
because southern slaves are stupid
The French slave owners in Haiti had made a business decision that it was cheaper to treat slaves badly and then replace them with new slaves after they were worked to death, whereas American slave owners generally found it more profitable to keep their slaves in relatively good condition and thereby get more work out of them.
The slave owners bought their slaves at auctions.
depends. Plantation owners had slaves ranging from 20 to 100s. home owners had slaves as servants ranging from 1 to 3. the armies too had slaves. the number of slaves owned depended on the needs of the owners.
Yes. Females slaves were raped by owners to give birth to Mulatos, which were slaves as well.

slaves can do anything their owners say they have to do.
