The slaves would sometimes pretend to be sick, so they can get out of work for 1-3 days.
There were many approaches that slaves used to show their unhappiness with the conditions they were forced to endure. Feigned illnesses and work slowdowns were common methods for rebellion. Damaging equipment and looting food or household belongings of their masters was quite common as well.

Unfortunately, slaves were considered property, so there was not much attention paid to their health and well-being. In fact, they were only considered valuable as long as they could properly perform the duties their owners expected of them. A slave who was unable to work, whether due to serious illness or old age, was considered a liability. There is evidence of a few "humane" owners (if an owner of slaves can ever be called humane) who kept their aged slaves around and gave them less strenuous work; and if a slave was especially valuable for some unique job (like caring for the master's children), there might be some medical treatment offered in case of an illness. But for the most part, once you could no longer do the work, you were either killed or allowed to die from your illness, at which time you were replaced.
This illness of becoming foot fetish starts when they are very young, one such incident is enough to make them like it for good.
Moses Draper, an American abolitionist, died in 1866 at the age of 42 from illness. He was known for his work in the antislavery movement and efforts to help escaped slaves on the Underground Railroad.
Slaves died from a lot of things. Some where not fed regularly or given fresh water to drink, and other died from diseases that were passing from person to person on the ship. Remember they had no doctor or medication to treat their illness. Also, slaves died because of the lack of room on the ship, the shelves on ship were inches apart so some slaves suffocated because of that. The shelves barely had room to fit them all, they couldn't even turn on their sides.
It depends on if people were loose-packed or tight-packed, if you were loose packed you could fit less people on board and decrease illness but get less money because you have less slaves, and tight-packed is when you squeeze as many people as you can on but it increases chances of diseases and illnesses, so really it depends
In early America, mostly. In the world, absolutely not. Our word "slave" comes from the world "slav," a European (white) people who were apparently taken as slaves a lot back in the day. Slaves could also be captured enemy soldiers of any nation, especially in the ancient world, when slavery was extremely common. Later on, kidnapping African tribesmen became the most profitable form of slavery.
