What makes an indentured slave different from a slave?

An indentured slave is a person who works under a contract for a specified period of time to pay off a debt or secure passage to a new country. Once the debt is paid or the contract is fulfilled, the indentured slave gains freedom. In contrast, a slave is a person who is owned as property for life and lacks personal freedom.


What happened to a slave if they were caught learning?

If a slave was caught learning to read or write, they faced severe punishment such as physical abuse, torture, or even death. Slave owners often saw education as a threat to their control over slaves and sought to prevent any form of literacy among them.


What happened in the trial of the Slave Ship Zong?

The Zong trial involved the massacre of enslaved Africans thrown overboard for insurance money in 1781. The trial raised questions about the treatment of enslaved individuals and the legal rights of slave owners. While the court ultimately ruled in favor of the ship owners, the case contributed to the abolitionist movement and increased public awareness of the horrors of the transatlantic slave trade.


What happened to a slave owner if they killed their slave?

That depends on the time and place the slave owner lived in. Slaves in the antebellum South were legally classified as domestic animals, like cows or sheep. So a slave owner was perfectly free to kill a slave that he owned. The only reason to avoid killing them is that slaves, like other domestic animals, were worth money. It would be foolish to buy a slave only to kill him or her. Nonetheless, if a slave master wished to kill a slave, he had every legal right to do so.


What happened because slave owners feared resistance by slave?

States passed slave codes and slave laws. These laws kept the slaves in a subordinate position and made it so even a free slave could be captured and sent back into slavery.

Were the same restrictions placed on free blacks when slave codes were in effect?

Yes and no. Discrimination was just as bad in northern states than southern, but the southern states were slave. If a African American happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time slavers would seek out free African Americans in the north, drug them, and take them south. From that point the person taken was a slave. The law and codes allowed this to happen.
